Nick Cannon Feels Guilty For Not Spending Time With His Many Children

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Nick Cannon has had a consultation about undergoing a vasectomy as he prepares to welcome his eighth child.

“The Masked Singer” host was asked during an interview on E! News if he plans to have more children after model Bre Tiesi gives birth to his eighth child.

In response, he revealed he has enquired about the surgical procedure, which is a permanent form of male contraception.

“I love all of my children… I don’t know if I would’ve designed it this way, but it’s one of those things when you’re blessed with the gifts of children -and as we all know, I’ve been through so much, I find solace, I find peace in my children and I find purpose,” Nick Cannon shared. “I already went and got my vasectomy consultation. I ain’t looking to populate the Earth completely, but I’m definitely looking forward to taking care and loving all the children that I currently have.”

The 41-year-old shares 11-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with his ex-wife Mariah Carey, son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen with Brittany Bell, and twins Zion and Zillion with Abby De La Rosa. Sadly, his son Zen, whom he shared with Alyssa Scott, died at the age of five months following a battle with cancer in December.

During the interview, Nick Cannon admitted he struggles to balance his work and having quality time with all of his kids.

“I do have the guilt of not having enough time to spend with all of my children, as we all do because we’re working and constantly going, especially right now when they’re younger,” Nick said. “I take my kids to school every morning. I FaceTime. Two weeks ago, (Moroccan and Monroe) had their birthday party. We shut down Six Flags.”

Behind The Scenes: Onyx Interview For The AllHipHop Podcast

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Exclusives

Move back, the Onyx is here, you better back the f##k up!

The Onyx is still here, nearly 30 years after they made their rambunctious, game-changing debut on Def Jam Records in 1992. At that point, the Queens-based group (even though Sticky Fingaz is mainly from BK) was a gritty reminder of these evil streets. And, that continues to this day.

Now a duo, they have a new album out called Onyx Versus Everybody and it is a reminder of exactly how dope they continue to be in 2022. Sticky and Fredro Starr stopped by WonWorld Studios for The Amazing AllHipHop Podcast with Chuck Creekmur aka Jigsaw and Slops. The result is a great conversation where almost all the boxes got checked.

Tiffany Haddish Considering Explicit Coffee Table Book Of Unsolicited Pictures

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Tiffany Haddish has vowed to block anyone who sends her “unsolicited” photos online.

During an interview for SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live, the “Girls Trip” actress revealed that she has changed her mind about receiving direct messages from fans.

“I mean guys, some guys, when they send things that are like, you know, intriguing, it’s cool. I don’t like when they send the D pics, that are unsolicited. If I don’t ask to see it,” Tiffany Haddish said. “Unsolicited dick pic, I’m cool. I’m not interested.”

“I’m gonna probably block you or mute you, you know?” Tiffany Haddish shared, before joking: “But I was thinking so many unsolicited dick pics come through, maybe I’ll start a coffee table book. I don’t know.’

Tiffany and host Andy went on to discuss why people feed the need to send rude photos to celebrities.

“They think like, ‘Well, let me just, you know, shot in the dark,’ and they think it’s their best attribute probably. I like to send pictures of me smiling. I think that’s my best attribute,” the 42-year-old continued.

Elsewhere, Tiffany Haddish revealed that her dating life hasn’t been going so well lately.

“What’s so funny is, I’ve been on six dates and, yeah, I’m probably not going on dates with any of those people again,” she said. “I met these guys like through friends. One guy I’ve been talking to, I met him through his daughter, that I would (see), we’ll see how that goes.”

Drake’s Pricey Jet Request Thwarted Chance To Star In “Good Mourning”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Machine Gun Kelly has revealed that Drake almost had a cameo in his new movie “Good Mourning.”

The comedy, which Kelly co-wrote, co-directed, and stars in, features a ‘Fake Drake’ doppelgänger. The singer has revealed that Drake was keen to play the role but they couldn’t make their schedules align.

“Drake was initially going to be Drake in the movie, and the schedules kept (conflicting),” he explained in a chat with Audacy Check In. “Every day that Drake could actually do it, ’cause when you shoot a movie every day is planned, and so we had it where, ‘Oh, Drake could come this day, this is what it’s gonna be,’ and the house owner couldn’t let up their house for that night, and it had to be at this place because we were very like set on every location that we found.”

Another opportunity arose for the Toronto rapper to participate in the film but the budget couldn’t cover his travel costs.

“The second time when Drake could do it, he was in Toronto, and he was like, ‘If you send a jet we can get there on time,’ and we were like, ‘Ahh, but this isn’t a Marvel movie budget.’ We would have to spend the whole movie budget on this jet,” Kelly shared.

“Good Mourning,” co-written and co-directed by Mod Sun, also stars Kelly’s fiancée Megan Fox and good friend Pete Davidson as well as Dove Cameron, Whitney Cummings and Becky G.

It was released in the U.S. on Friday.

Diddy Drawing Inspiration From Berry Gordy With New Venture Love Records

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on a “mission” to revitalize R&B music with his new record label.

Earlier this month, the music mogul announced that he will be launching Love Records with his upcoming album, which will be released in conjunction with Motown Records.

Reflecting on the venture during an interview for Billboard, Diddy explained that he wants to breathe new life into the genre and employ a new generation of talent.

“I’m on an R&B mission… a mission to bring back a genre of music that had employed so many musicians and writers. I also want to bring back, you know, our soul,” he said. “That’s a part of our culture. Not singing and sounding like computers to the point where we lose ourselves. So, I’m here to bring back the R&B magic because R&B is love.”

Diddy went on to share that he has long been inspired by Motown founder Berry Gordy’s “blueprint” for a record label, and is excited to be working with a variety of up-and-coming artists.

“This new album is like an R&B Super Bowl featuring artists whose voices I love, with my production and direction underneath. We also have a star-studded array of young producers and songwriters. I love collaborating,” the Last Night hitmaker continued.

Diddy has not yet confirmed a release date for his new record. The first artist signed to Love Records is singer//songwriter Jozzy, who has written songs for Pharrell, Mary J. Blige, Lil Nas X, Summer Walker, and others.

She debuted her new song “Replay” at the Billboard Music Awards, which was executive produced and hosted by Diddy.

Cardi B Blames Technical Difficulties For Delay In New Music

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Cardi B has revealed she is experiencing “technical difficulties” with her new music.

Late last year, the “I Like It” rapper indicated she was planning to release her second album in 2022.

But after fans began to question when they can expect the follow-up to 2018’s Invasion of Privacy to drop, Cardi addressed the delays in a voice note posted on Twitter.

“I seen a lot of y’all talking s**t like, ‘Oh she doesn’t feed us…’ So when I put what I’mma put out, I’mma talk more about it because clearly I can’t talk about it now (sic),” Cardi B commented. “But I really had technical difficulties with my latest project. I had not one, not two, but like three technical difficulties on the music that I’ve been working on that … it had to be done and taken care of before I put it out.”

Despite appearing a little frustrated by the issues with making the record, Cardi promised that she will open up about the recording process at a later date.

“When things come out, that’s when I’mma talk about it. It’s nothing, like, major or crazy. Yeah, we’ll figure it out ’cause I know, I know, I know, I know you guys want that and I’m gonna give it to ya, OK? OK,” the 29-year-old added.

Doja Cat Drops Off Tour With Weeknd Over Tonsil Issues

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Doja Cat has been forced to cancel her lucrative tour with The Weeknd, after undergoing surgery on her infected tonsils.

The “Kiss Me More” singer explained to her Twitter followers that she had to pull out of her tour with the Canadian singer as she recovers.

“The surgery is routine but the recovery is going to take awhile due to swelling. That means I have to cancel my festival run this summer as well as The Weeknd tour. I feel horrible about this but can’t wait for this to heal and get back to making music and create an experience for y’all,” Doja Cat wrote.

https://twitter.com/DojaCat/status/1527737897809432576

Earlier in the week, Doja revealed she was on antibiotics to treat her infected tonsils when she attended the Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs).

But the situation got worse and she had to undergo surgery to remove “a nasty ass growth” from her left tonsil.

“Dr. just had to cut into my left tonsil. i had an abscess in it. my whole throat is f##### so i might have some bad news for yall coming soon,” she tweeted. “So my tonsils got infected before bbmas and i was taking f##### antibiotics but forgot that i was taking them and then i drank wine and was vaping all day long and then i started getting a nasty ass growth on my tonsil so they had to do surgery on it today… i cried and it hurt a lot but im ok.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbB2QeorVS5/

The 26-year-old, who won four awards at the BBMAs, told one follower that she was going to “try and get em removed” soon.

Doja confessed to her followers that she was struggling to go “cold turkey” and abstain from using her vape despite her sore throat.

“Im too scared to hit it cuz my throat hurts so bad. i cried for hours. its not worth it,” she explained. “Then its like imagine all that wierd poisonous s### in the vape seeping into the completely open wound in my throat like f### that.

“I’m addicted but I’m not weak. I was literally staring at my vape today that normally i’d hit a thousand times a day and hit it two times instead. I’ma try to go cold turkey for now but hopefully my brain doesn’t need it at all by then.”

Saweetie Pays It Forward With Classes To Help Teens With Financial Literacy

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

At the end of 2021, rapper Saweetie was offered a job as guest lecturer at her alma mater, the University of Southern California. 

AllHipHop reported she was hired to teach a business Venture Feasibility and Venture Initiation (VFVI) course at USC Marshall School of Business.

Now the chart-topper is bringing those lessons to those young people who can’t afford a $65,000 experience at the top-notch school

Earlier in the year, the “Icy Girl” founded the Icy Baby Foundation with Roxanne Glass, her grandmother. Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, the two desired to give back to youth within POC communities with philanthropic outreach, designing programming rooted in helping others learn the skill of “leveling up.”

The foundation is launching a financial literacy program for underserved youth.

“The reason why I’m so sensitive to that is because I need help my damn self. Just putting money in the savings account is not enough – especially not enough to create generational wealth for you, your family, or your kids,” the rapper told Glamour.

“It’s important that we educate these young kids so that it’s something that’s instilled into their minds, so it’s not something that they’re trying to figure out as an adult,” Saweetie said.

When discussing why she chose to work with her grandmother versus some of the other nonprofits already existing, the star said she “was tired of giving away a lot of money to other foundations, not knowing what they did with the money” and “I trust my grandmother.”

“As a kid, I watched my grandma give back, I watched her go to high schools, I watched her go to other churches, I watched her go to other people’s homes, praying for them, giving to them,” she explained. “Uplifting those who look like me has been important all of my life since I was a little girl. Because I would be right there next to my grandma helping other people.”

Her grandmother Roxanne Glass was a former Miss Black Nebraska. She engaged in service, helping others both as a crown winner and as a community stakeholder.

Gina Huynh Drops Rap Song Saying She Single After Beefing With Yung Miami Over Diddy

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

The Vietnamese and Black Instagram model Gina Huynh aka Gina V says she is making folk mad. At one time, she was rumored to be messing with Chris Brown, and most recently, whispers have been swearing she is sick off that love … Brother Love that is.

Two years ago, Diddy let a short video of him kissing on Huynh leak out, and the other day she appeared to be at an awards show (Billboard, which was executive produced by Sean Combs himself) and captioned a post saying “Love, Love, Love.”

The 30-year-old dropped a new record titled “Shake My A$$,” declaring she is single and out on the prowl.

The lyrics of the song start off, “I just be making them mad by minding my business and getting a bag/ you imagine I gave some attention to one of they n##### these hoes would be sad/ all of these hoes they be watching me, copying me I see with swag/ all ladies host my offspring/ only thing I ain’t f###### their dad.”

The song lyrics raised eyebrows after she posted a picture of Diddy kissing her on the cheek a few days prior for all the world to see.
One person that saw the photo, even if she has not heard the song, is fellow rapper Yung Miami.

She tweeted the following directed her:
“SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE THIS B#### SOME ATTENTION.”

Huynh responded, “Huynh responded on her Instagram Live, “If anybody is seeking attention…B**CH ITS YOU.”

“Notice me please ass b#### go sit down! WE SEE YOU RELAX IT’S ok! You been (AROUND) just (AROUND) for years! You been waiting on this moment if he can’t make you famous b#### I ain’t!”

“Attention? B#### I am the attention let’s be clear!”

Women Pulls Gun In Chipotle When They Can’t Serve Food

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Things got rather chippy in at a Chipotle in Philadelphia.

A Philadelphia Chipotle was closing early and that upset a customer. It p##### the customer off so much that she pulled out a gun and demanded her food. That’s right – SHE.

Unfortunately, the store was closing early due to staffing issues, but it was still taking online orders. I guess she was not on

That was not enough for a Philadelphia woman, who said “somebody better give me my food.” This was before she ordered! And then she proceeded to pull out a gun. The woman, that wore a gray top pink pants in the gun, gestured towards a person behind the counter.

The woman demanded to speak to the manager, meanwhile they pushed a button to get security. The police didn’t get there before the staff made her her food. They wanted to get her out of there, which is perfectly all right.

Here’s the crazy part. She ended up pulling the gun out again after the order was completed, took her meal and kept it pushing. Now, the cops are after her.

Here’s the craziest part: she’s probably mentally ill and impoverished as well. I’m not saying that’s an excuse, but I am seeing that anybody there pulls a gun on somebody for some inauthentic Mexican food is definitely not in their right mind. And I love Chipotle.

The Reason Casanova 2x Plead Guilty

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

The reason why Casanova had to plead guilty!

Brooklyn rapper Casanova 2X had to plead guilty. He did not have a choice in the matter, because a recent report says that somebody literally snitched on him numerous times, for numerous cases.

Rolling Stone, the magazine, alleges authorities have a cooperating witness a.k.a. a snitch that has been giving all the details on Casanova‘s alleged crimes. The witness also explicitly says that Casanova is the leader of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation, a faction of the Bloods Gang in Brooklyn.

David Felton, assistant US attorney, said that a social media post that has Casanova standing next to large amounts of marijuana was plenty information for them to convict him. The witness corroborated what the picture was already saying.

Also, the feds were able to get into Casanova‘s iCloud and Instagram and see numerous handguns, rifles and other firearms on the couch.

This clearly does not look good in any form or fashion. If you’re going to do crimes, social media is not your friend.

On top of that, the gorilla stone members looked at Casanova as a way to make money and get a bigger status with other blood sets. Casanova on the other hand, will be sentenced on December 6, 2022, just in time for Christmas.

The Notorious B.I.G.’s mom, Voletta Wallace, said her son did not only “spread love the Brooklyn way” but could spread love worldwide.

I am one of the most humble human beings you will find on the face of the earth. But tonight, I can say I am proud. I am proud to be a mother of one of the nicest human beings you will ever know, that is my son Christopher Wallace.”

The crowd erupted into applause to affirm how nice the “Juicy” artist was.

The bereaved mother, who lost her son in March of 1997 to a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, said she usually gets around with a cane, but she had “so many handsome young men walking around” with her all night that she did not need one. 

Some of those men were Lil’ Cease, Wayne Burrows, and Damion “D-Roc” Butler, who both rocked with the legendary chart-topper when The Notorious B.I.G. was alive.

Ms. Wallace continued, “tonight is also bittersweet. I would have loved for my son to be here to witness this. And then again, think about it… if he was here, I don’t think this would have happened. Ohhhh, nooo… It wouldn’t.

“So, he’s not here, and I wish, with all my heart, that he would see all of you. All of the friendly faces. All of the genuine love that’s been permeating throughout this room, throughout New York City, Brooklyn, and the world,” Ms. Wallace said.

The queen further declared, “I love my son. I will always say I’m a mother forever. Forever. I wanna thank you all for coming up to be here to share the love. Not only to spread love the Brooklyn way but to spread love worldwide.”

She ended her remarks by reminding those gathered how dear they were to The Notorious B.I.G. and he was to them.

“Please remember that that human being was your friend and will always be your friend at heart. I thank you so much for showing up. God bless you. Stay safe and walk with dignity.”

In celebration of his Biggie’s birth, the estate will have vans driving throughout the city with a crown projected in the sky spinning around the five boroughs.

Tonight, the Empire State Building will pay homage to The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready to Die LP by changing change to red and white with a crown in its mast to honor Biggie’s classic album.

The Barclays Center in Brooklyn will honor The Notorious B.I.G. tonight as well, by displaying a video montage of his records on the oculus above the arena’s entrance.

The New York City MTA released a special edition MetroCard at three subway stations near his old stomping grounds in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Master P Officially A Single Man, As Divorce From Ex-Wife Drags On

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Hip-Hop mogul Master P is now a legally single man as the years-long divorce from his wife drags on in court. 

Despite being separated from the woman for years, the courts just recently declared the No Limit Records founder officially single.

According to TMZ, Percy Miller, the legal name of the rapper responsible for hits like “Make ‘Em Say Ugh” and “Bout It, Bout It,” and Sonya Miller have been estranged for almost 10 years. 

The couple married in 1989 before P’s career popped off. Sonya first filed for divorce in 2013 and sought to collect over $67 million from Master P. 

In 2016, Master P said the couple had settled up their divorce proceedings privately but never submitted it to the courts.

It was not until December 2021 that Master P asked a judge to acknowledge their split. So far, the divorce has yet to be finalized.

C Blu Avoids Charges After Being Accused Of Shooting NYPD Officer

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Authorities stopped pursuing criminal charges against drill rapper C Blu, who was accused of shooting a cop.

According to the New York Daily News, the city’s Law Department dropped the case on Tuesday (May 17).

C Blu, 16, found himself in the clear a few months after a judge called his arresting officer’s testimony “unreliable” and “self-serving.”

“The Law Department has determined that this case cannot be prosecuted,” spokesperson Nicholas Paolucci told the Daily News. “But let’s be clear: Just because the city cannot prosecute doesn’t mean this individual should have been carrying an illegal weapon — a weapon which contributed to both him and an officer being shot.”

C Blu, whose real name is Camrin Williams, was originally charged with attempted murder. The charges were reduced to criminal possession of a weapon and assault before being dropped.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticized Williams when the teen was released on a $250,000 bond in January. C Blu’s attorney Dawn Florio mentioned the mayor in a statement about her client avoiding charges.

“Mayor Adams and the NYPD demonized my client in the press and accused him of shooting a police officer,” Florio said. “My client is thrilled that … the matter will be closed and sealed, that all charges have been dropped. It has always been our position that it was the police, not my client, who caused that gun to go off, shooting my client and grazing an officer.”

Kim Kardashian Seeks Restraining Order Against Lunatic Stalking Her And Kanye’s Kids

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kim Kardashian is asking the court to help protect her family.

According to multiple reports, Kim Kardashian filed for a restraining order against a man who’s allegedly threatened to kill her and her family. The reality star claims David Resendiz sent dozens of letters threatening her and her children.

Kim Kardashian said she never met David Resendiz, but he somehow obtained her home and business addresses. He allegedly sent a variety of death threats, including a bomb threat delivered to one of her offices.

David Resendiz allegedly sent over 80 letters to Kim Kardashian. She accuses him of making “disturbing sexual references” about her in the messages.

The threats reportedly made no mention of her boyfriend Pete Davidson. The billionaire began dating the Saturday Night Live star after filing to divorce Kanye West. A judge terminated the former couple’s marital status earlier this year.

Kim Kardashian’s security team turned over the menacing letters to the police. Her lawyer Shawn Holley sought a restraining order in an attempt to stop the harassment.

David Resendiz must stay 100 yards away from the Kardashian family if a judge grants the restraining order. He also won’t be allowed to contact them in any way.
