Judge Mathis Responds To 50 Cent Over “First Lady Of BMF” Criticism

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Judge Greg Mathis has responded to 50 Cent, who recently criticized a new film called The First Lady of BMF: The Story of Tonesa Welch. The film, directed by 50 Cent’s ex Vivica A. Fox, is executive produced by Mathis and Azarel Smallwood. Mathis clearly took offense to 50 Cent’s comments and addressed them in an Instagram video.

“You’ve been critical of us and our movie, First Lady of BMF,” he begins. “Man, you my guy. Let Tonesa eat. You know, first lady of BMF. I know LaLa’s doing a hell of a job, but y’all haven’t fed Toni. First lady of BMF, Terry’s lady for many decades. Southwest T. I’m from Detroit, they from Detroit. That’s how I’m involved. We are Detroiters, man. We come from the same cloth. I just got out of the street 10 years earlier than you. I respect you, man. I respect your work. Now let us get some money, man. Good luck on all your endeavors. You’re doing a helluva job. Now let us get some of that money with you, particularly Tonesa Welch, the first lady of BMF.”

He then told 50 Cent to “stop it.” He added in the caption: I’M SENDING THIS TO MY GUY @50cent WHO HAS BEEN CRITICAL OF OUR MOVIE ‘THE FIRST LADY OF BMF.'”

50 Cent called out Fox and Judge Mathis on Thursday evening (March 30), writing on Instagram, “This should say 263 not BMF,’ he wrote, suggesting Welch was the First Lady of the offshoot organization 263 rather than BMF itself.

“What the f### is this man! Vivica ugh, So your not gonna ever leave me alone hun? and what the f### is judge Mathis doing in this mix I’m done, Im done with all of you ni66as. LOL.”

50 Cent is behind the STARZ series Black Mafia Family, which debuted in September 2021. It stars Russell Hornsby, Demetrius Flenory Jr., Da’Vinchi and La La Anthony, among many others.

Wife Of One Of 6ix9ine’s Attackers Sets Up GoFundMe

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

The wife of one of the men who attacked Tekashi 6ix9ine while he was in a public gym sauna has started a crowdfunding campaign to help raise money for his legal fees. The money will not only be used for her husband but for the other men that jumped the artist.

Jaime Medina created the GoFundMe account on Friday, March 31.

In 21 hours, the campaign only raised $10 out of its original $100,000 goal.

She wrote, “The go fund me is for everybody involved.”

“My husband is Rafeal Medina,” the woman wrote. “I can’t talk much about the situation because it’s still on going, but my husband stood up for what he believes in— which unfortunately, ended in an altercation. It didn’t have anything to do with clout, my husband doesn’t even have social media.”

According to the wife, the internet made up “false assumptions,” regarding why her husband and the other men jumped the rapper.

“Rafeal is a hard-working, loving father and husband, who made a mistake; There are no excuses, but we are hoping that during this time, we can come together, support and donated to the GoFundMe for the entire cause and for the attorney fees,” she said.

Jamie Medina also asked people to “refrain from the negativity” because “there’s enough of that already.”

She ended the paragraph by thanking people for “all of the support.” The wife also listed her CashApp for people who wanted to give their donations to her directly.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Rafeal Medina is one of three men suspected of attacking 6ix9ine. On Thursday evening, Medina, joined by Octavious Medina and Anthony Maldonado, was booked into a county jail for assault.

J Dilla Estate Casts Doubt On Collab Album With Dres Of Black Sheep

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

J Dilla’s estate may stop Black Sheep’s Dres from releasing a project produced by the late Hip-Hop legend.

Maureen Yancey, the mother of J Dilla, and legal representative Michelle Harris-Coleman told Rolling Stone they haven’t authorized a collaboration with Dres. The Black Sheep rapper claimed he received Yancey’s blessing when discussing the album in March.

“Anything Dres is doing on his side, we need to make sure the music is put aside and no one else can use it—and that’s the problem,” Harris-Coleman said. “I have not listened to the music. I don’t think Ma has listened to the music. If Toney [Ma’s husband] has listened to the music, he has not given me the green light.”

According to Harris-Coleman, Dres reached out to Yancey’s label years ago about creating an album with J Dilla beats. No deal was reached before Harris-Coleman faced personal turmoil, including her mother’s cancer diagnosis. When she returned to the fold, she discovered some type of deal had been made.

“I come back in, and there’s a deal,” Harris-Coleman explained. “I said, ‘No, there’s no deal. There are no signed agreements. There’s no anything.’ I’ve been kind of disturbed about how Dres keeps doing interviews about this, and the terms have not been signed off by all parties. Are there negotiations? Yes. But I told him to stop all this.”

The Dres collaboration remains in limbo, but J Dilla’s estate confirmed an agreement to bring Jay Dee’s music to the Stem Player. The device initially gained recognition for its association with Kanye West. Stem’s parent company cut ties with Ye in 2022.

EXCLUSIVE: French Montana Claims He’s Made “Nothing” From One Of His Biggest Hits

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Rap star French Montana has yet to see a dime from one of his best-known hits, according to court documents obtained by AllHipHop.com.

The rapper has been locked in a battle with an independent producer named Eddie Lee Richardson, who claims French Montana and Rico Love stole the beat and the concept for their song “Ain’t Worried About Nothin'” from his song “Hood Pushin’ Weight.”

Earlier this week, a judge gave the leg up in the lawsuit and throughout two critical components of Lee’s case.

First, the court ruled that French was innocent of willful copyright infringement because Lee failed to establish direct evidence that the rapper or anyone else involved in the production of “Aint Worried About Nothin'” copied the melody for “Hood Pushin’ Weight.”

Lee’s two remaining accusations—that French Montana infringed on his copyright in “Hood Pushin’ Weight” willfully and that he is entitled to injunctive relief barring the Bronx rapper from performing “Aint Worried About Nothin'” in the future were denied.

But the most shocking part of the legal battle came via an admission from French’s legal team. The rapper claims he hasn’t made any money from the hit song, which is certified platinum by the RIAA.

Even the judge was perplexed.

“Somehow—the record does not make entirely clear why – [French Montana] himself has received $0 in compensation “for sales of [Aint Worried About Nothin’ by distributors” and $0 from any “performances of…’ Aint Worried About Nothin’. Although the court is somewhat perplexed by these claims, [Lee] does not dispute them, and the court will not question them further,” Judge Nancy L. Maldonado wrote.

According to Lee, on October 7th, 2012, he uploaded his instrumental “Hood Pushin’ Weight” to SoundClick.com, a platform for distributing and sharing audio content online, allowing users to upload, promote, and share their work.

Fast forward to April 15th, 2013, approximately six months later, French Montana released the smash hit “Ain’t Worried About Nothin’.” The song quickly gained popularity, reaching number ten on the Billboard charts and leading to collaborations with prominent figures in the music industry, such as Lil Wayne, Puff Daddy, Wiz Khalifa, Miley Cyrus, and The Game.

On May 7th, 2013, French Montana shared the official music video for the song on his YouTube channel, accumulating over 93 million views to date.

Lee said he heard French’s version of the song and reached out to the rapper, who replied and said that while he wrote the lyrics, Rico Love and another group of producers were responsible for making the instrumental for the smash hit.

While French won a significant victory in the case, the rapper is still not in the clear.

Judge Maldonado ruled that the Copyright Act’s three-year limitations period restricts the scope of liability in the case to acts of infringement
occurring after April 5th, 2016.

And, because French acknowledged that he received notification of potential infringement, only a jury can decide whether his conduct after receiving the warning was reasonable.

The court said Lee has enough proof to sue French Montana for every time he performed the song after April 5th, 2016. According to French Montana, he has performed the song at least 378 times since then.

He wrote on Instagram, “First time addressing the situation. For 2 years I been walking around with no security. Not saying I promote that BUT now you see I really never hid from anything. If you ever crossed my path or ever came to my house (you girls know who you are) ya can tell the world ‘Danny drives his own cars and be solo.’”

“You know how many of you people seen me in real life by myself in gas stations, supermarkets, restaurants, etc.,” he continued to say, adding, “Anyway what happen here was nothing but cowardly. I’m not mad this happened. In the street there’s no rules so I cant say they were wrong.”

He further expressed, “Obviously, it wasn’t fair but again the streets has no rules. Just imagine having nothing to do to with a situation and feel obligated to make it your business. (Very weird) I’m happy to be here still. And I want to say I love my fans. Thank you.”

6ix9ine said he “never knew” that the streets “respected” people who outnumber and jump other people.

Asking, “When did that ever become a W???”

Benzino Wants LGBTQ Community To Stop Flirting With Him

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Raymond “Benzino” Scott has faced accusations of being romantically involved with transgender women. However, the former co-owner of The Source magazine took to Twitter to insist that he is not attracted to LGBTQ individuals.

Benzino called on certain members of the LGBTQ community to stop contacting him on social media. The Shade Room posted screenshots of Zino’s now-deleted tweets that corroborated his previous claims of being heterosexual.

“Attention to all in the LGBTQ, abcd!!! I respect y’all’s movement and your decision to be who you want to be BUT STOP THE WEIRD S### WITH THE COMMENTS AND FLIRTING. I’M NOT F###### FLATTERED BECAUSE I’M NOT GAY!! RESPECT THAT S### AS I RESPECT WHO YOU ARE!! 🤬😡😤,” wrote Benzino.

The Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta alumnus also added, “F### y’all mad at me for?? Cause I ain’t [with] that s###? I know it ain’t all gays & not all gay men are disrespectful but it’s a lot who are, it’s been going on for a while. I don’t wanna see that on my timeline. Just respect that. I’m straight, and [I don’t give a f###] about none y’all comments.”

Last year, rumors circulated claiming Benzino once dated a transgender woman named Shauna Brooks. He denied the allegations. The speculation led to Zino seemingly threatening to physically harm his accusers and suing media outlets that covered the story.

Benzino also blasted openly gay rapper Lil Nas X. The “Rock the Party” rapper took issue with Lil Nas kissing another man on stage at the televised 2021 BET Awards. Critics condemned Zino for supposedly spreading homophobic rhetoric.

“I just feel like sometimes things can be forced, and they don’t have to be. I think Lil Nas X was trying to show he’s gay and gay’s here, but we already knew that. You don’t have to push the envelope so much. Gay people are here. The movement’s here,” said Benzino in response to the criticism over his comments about the “Old Town Road” hitmaker.

The Boston, Massachusetts native continued, “I think the LGBT community – a lot of them are great people – but then you got some who just want to bully their lifestyle on people. I don’t think that’s fair. I think in this instance I’ve seen LGBT [people] speak and actually agree with what I’m saying.”

Andrew Tate Out On House Arrest After Spending Months In Jail

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Controversial influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan won an appeal to be released on house arrest amid a criminal probe in Romania.

Last December, Andrew Tate and his brother were detained on allegations of human trafficking, organized crime and rape. The two spent several months in Romanian jail but haven’t been formally charged.

“We are ecstatic to announce the Romanian judicial system approved Andrew’s and Tristan Tate’s appeal against last week’s extension decision,” a spokesperson for the Tates told Insider. “Both brothers are looking forward to being reunited with their families in Romania and want to extend their thanks to all the supporters who have stood by them during this time. They will continue to fight to clear their name of these fabricated accusations; however, this is a big step in the right direction.”

Authorities will continue their investigation of Andrew Tate and his associates. Romania’s anti-organized crime agency DIICOT previously identified six alleged victims in the human trafficking case.

The victims were allegedly subjected to mental and physical coercion. Authorities accused the Tate brothers of sexually exploiting women.

Andrew Tate, who gained a massive online audience for his misogynistic opinions, denied any wrongdoing. He claimed there is a conspiracy to silence him.

Evander Griiim Unveils “New Woman” Visual

By: Shirley JuCategory: Music

With new artists emerging every day, Evander Griiim serves as a breath of fresh air in the music industry. The rising star hails from El Paso, Texas, serving as a voice for all the people in the world chasing success and the highs and lows that come with it. The three i’s in his name represent the father, son, and Holy Spirit, which means with any bad situation, there’s always good.

Today, Evander Griiim returns with the highly-anticipated music video for his newest single titled “New Woman.” The record itself is inspired by real-life experiences, touching on the topic of relationships we all can relate to. “New Woman” sees Evander playing with other people’s feelings, trying to fulfill his own. We all have been in that position where we try to find a certain person within others, and sometimes that can bring negative connotations.

The official music video picks up where his previous visual, “Tom Ford,” leaves off. From being in a penthouse with a beautiful female to now leaving the apartment, the visual sees Evander reflecting on his past woes late night on the beach, singing his heart out as he tries to cope with his reality.

“I want fans to feel me,” Evander states. “Anything I do in my music, I want people to feel the vibrations I’m putting out. I want people to relate. It’s okay to be in touch with your dark side, nobody’s perfect. Everybody has bad things going on. Heartbreak and love, trying to deal with all that. You’re not alone.”

The 30-year-old rap star flaunted her body a week after receiving more good news in her legal battle against vlogger Tasha K. The Eleventh Circuit of the United States Court of Appeals denied Tasha K’s appeal, upholding Cardi B’s victory in a defamation lawsuit.

“There are two issues here,” the judges explained. “One is whether the jury had sufficient evidence to hold appellants—Latasha Kebe and others—liable for defamation (and other privacy torts) against appellee Belcalis Almanzar (better known as ‘Cardi B’). The other is whether the district court erred by excluding evidence. We hold that Kebe hasn’t preserved either issue for appeal.”

Jurors found Tasha K liable for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress in 2022. A judge ordered her to pay more than $4 million to Cardi B.

John John Da Don Launches Talent Tour #NextTopBull

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper and battle rap league owner John John Da Don has announced that he is about to embark on a talent search tour called the Next Top Bull.

While roaming talent searches are not new—The Ultimate Rap League’s “Crucible” travels from state to state looking for new talent and his best friend Hitman Holla just launched his “Bags and Bodies” talent search reality show— there is always something special when JJDD puts his stamp on a product.

AllHipHop.com spoke directly to the Yonkers emcee and he told us exclusively to share why he decided to do a talent search.

“One thing I always get asked besides ‘when is your next battle?’ is ‘how can I get on Bullpen?'” he said. “So now we are doing a tour to go find new talent from all four corners of the country to push through our platform.”

Adding this was why he actually created the platform. He said, “Bullpen Battle League was created for the up & coming battle rappers that feel/felt counted out. We wanted to give them a platform that allows them room to grow, find themselves, and potentially be the next battle rap star.”

“Being that I started from the entry point in battle rap and was able to excel to become one of the top names in battle rap, I have the experience that all up-and-coming battle rappers could learn from. Most league owners aren’t and were never battle rappers, so they can’t relate to the battlers the way I can,” John John shared before getting off to square up details for his April 16th Pendemic card.

He made the announcement on social media: “People always ask how can they get on @bullpenbattleleague here’s how❗️#NextTopBull tour 2023.”

Additionally, if anyone is interested they should email a submission to NextTopBull@gmail.com to get a chance to be on one of the industry’s most solid platforms.

Tay-K Sends Message To Fans About Life Changes He Made Since Being Incarcerated

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Tay-K is celebrating a recent victory even from behind bars.

On Thursday, March 23, the chart-topper’s 2017 song “The Race” reportedly just surpassed 1 billion streams, according to Daily Rap Facts.

The Texas native was unable to celebrate as most artists would by partying with friends and family— but he did make sure those who support him knew his gratitude for them standing by him.

He actually got deep and spoke about the changes he is making in his life. He also placed emphasis on growing up in the system aiding some of the bad decisions he made in his very young life.

A post shared by BIG TAY-K (@tayk47shawty)

Tay-K wrote a letter to fans from his jail cell that reads:

“Yo! I’m sitting here thinking about all my fans. I love and miss y’all. I know there’s a lot that I haven’t directly spoke on and there R many things my fans know but I’m not sure everybody else does. I’ve been here for 5 ½ years now and I feel indebted to y’all for going so crazy behind me.

It’s still crazy to me that I never had a chance to live outside as an adult. I’ve been locked up and in and out of the “justice” and CPS system 4 my whole life. Not sure if y’all know but I got sentenced as an adult to 55 years in prison for a crime where I wasn’t even the shooter. I wasn’t even alleged to have a gun. I was never even suspected to have pulled a trigger or hurt anyone. I was young and didn’t have no positive figures around.

Now that I’m older, I know how important focusing on leading by example is. I love my fans and I don’t want any 1 to think I’m promoting or really recommending violence. That’s why I really dedicated a lot of my time in here to using the success of my music to have a positive impact on other young artists, even if it is something small like taking a phone call or writing a letter to keep them positively inspired, regardless of my situation. The movement is Eternal. #RR4L.”

Tay-K was 19 when he was sent to jail.

As reported by AllHipHop.com he and arrested and charged for a crime he committed when he was a minor. Based on his sentence, the artist will be between 60 and almost 80 years old when he is released.

EXCLUSIVE: Ice-T Preps New Album, Says He’s Coming For Slick Rick’s Storytelling Throne

By: Jake CratesCategory: Exclusives

Recently one of Hip-Hop’s most iconic rappers and actors, Ice-T took the time to speak with AllHipHop in an exclusive interview while promoting his new iHeartPodcast, Ice-T’s Daily Game.

Speaking candidly on a host of topics ranging from his new iHeartPodcast to his acting roles on Dick Wolf’s shows like Law and Order SVU and New York Undercover, Ice-T opened up and shared information for the first time on his new album, The Legend of ICE-T “Crime Stories” Vol 1 & 2

The compilation project will feature six new storytelling songs to add to his iconic catalog of music, while also throwing in some classics from back in the day.

“I got a rap project coming out and it’s called…First, I’ve never spoken on it yet… It’s called, The Legend of ICE-T “Crime Stories” Vol 1 & 2” Ice-T explained to AllHipHop. 

“It’s a compilation of all my story rhymes from all eight albums and about six new songs that are all story-based. You know, they say Slick Rick is the king of stories. I’m coming for that throne. Wait till you hear this. These are all my story records from ‘6 ’N the Mornin’’ to ‘Midnight’ and all these adventures put into one album. It’s a double vinyl release, it has two vinyls and it’s gonna be like a classic collector’s piece. The reason it’s titled The Legend of ICE-T is because a lot of things people believe about me are legend.”

Continuing to fan the flames of his own legendary status Ice-T elaborated on what motivated him to release his crime stories compilation.

“Legend is part false. You know, it’s like the night I got in the squabble in the club and I knocked one dude out, where a legend says it was three dudes.” Ice-T said laughing.

“A lot of this stuff that people believe about me are lyrics that aren’t necessarily true, but we’ll let the legend continue. So that’s what The Legend of ICE-T: Crime Stories is about, be on the lookout for that, that should be coming out within the next two to three months.”

While Ice-T currently holds the record for the longest-running male actor on a TV series with his role on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, he still has no intentions of slowing down on the music side of the business. 

In addition to his rap album he’s been steadily at work with his Grammy Award-winning heavy metal rock group Body Count.

“I kinda like the fact that in this Rap world, they don’t even know that I’m over here touring for hundreds of thousands of people doing Body Count shows. I kind of like the feeling of somebody thinking, well, ‘Ice-T’s played out, Ice-T is over with,’ and I’m making more money than they are, like, I dig it. I have a motto on my Daily Game Podcast. ‘If they sleeping on you, let ’em rest, man. Let ’em rest.’ But Body Count is right now in the studio doing Merciless the new album.”

Life as a savage shouldn’t be so rough. Got damn. BTB Savage was killed mere moments after posting a picture at a crime scene that involved his girlfriend. This ain’t funny so don’t you dare laugh.

BTB Savage is a rapper you may or may not have heard of, so spare me with the “WHO” comments. He is popular amongst the young and tapped in folks. I won’t get into his music, Google that. Here’s the deal: roughly a month ago, somebody hit up homie to do a song, according to my sources. When the person got to the spot, which happened to be BTB Savage’s girlfriend’s house, the dude tried to rob BTB. There was a fight and struggle.

When the smoke cleared, BTB’s GIRL came down and blasted the would be thief straight into the afterlife. Tragic and sad no matter how you slice it. She shot and killed the dude. If I am correct, BTB sustained injuries in that fracas but to his left arm—nothing fatal. What he does next is what apparently led to this death.

He posts this picture.

Unfortunately: should be a pic here, but the powers that be made me take it down.

BTB decides to post a picture of the scene where the alleged robber was slain—BLOOD EVERYWHERE! This was YESTERDAY, PEOPLE. Within hours, that man is dead. What he failed to realize—somehow or another—is that Houston is all real. I feel sorry for this young dude because made a fatal error.

They shot his ish UP!

The internet has some info. Basically (and allegedly), two people pulled up and opened fire at BTB’s car. Another report said there may have been as many as 12 people present and two shooters. Anyway, it was a Subaru and that’s pretty much that. I doubt anybody is doing that in their own car. Regardless, life comes at you fast and furious.

Believe it or not, old boy did an interview with DJ Vlad talking about the shooting and how it happened. It tells a bit of a different story. It reportedly says he was spending quality time with his girlfriend and his child when the robbers broke into the residence. They were fighting over a gun and then his girlfriend reportedly blasted and killed one of the men. That makes it more strange that he would taunt the would-be robbers.

RIP BTB SAVAGE.

Reality show star Angela White (formerly known as Blac Chyna) announced to the world her plans of reversing some of the cosmetic procedures on her body.

As part of her transition from Blac Chyna back to Angela White, the socialite/entrepreneur got silicon from illegal injections removed from her buttocks. She also had face fillers in her jaw, lips, and cheeks dissolved.

Angela White documented her plastic surgery reversals on her Instagram page which presently boasts 16.9 million followers. Additionally, the former exotic dancer made an appearance on The Tamron Hall Show to discuss her physical transformation.

“This is me now. So you can see the difference, right here in the cheek area. Yeah, see when I smile, now you can see all of my teeth. I had so much filler in my lips to where as though I couldn’t even barely smile, but you see now when I smile,” White told Tamron Hall.

As Blac Chyna, the DC native starred in reality television programs such as E!’s Rob & Chyna with former boyfriend Rob Kardashian and Zeus Network’s The Real Blac Chyna. Angela White is the mother of a 6-year-old daughter with Rob Kardashian as well as a 10-year-old son with rapper Tyga.

“I haven’t really told them anything. I just lead by example,” said White when asked what she shares about her new lifestyle with her children. “Like if I’m working out, they work out with me. I ask them to come to church with me. They’re like, ‘How far is it?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh God.’ Because it’s actually really far. I drive an hour and five minutes to my church and an hour and thirty minutes back every Sunday.”

In addition to making physical changes, Angela White also made spiritual changes in her life. She recently shared images of herself getting baptized with her social media following. The religious ritual took place on May 11, White’s 34th birthday.
