Nipsey Hussle Murder Trial Set To Begin 3 Years After His Death

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Nipsey Hussle’s alleged killer will go on trial for murder in June.

According to FOX 11 in Los Angeles, a judge confirmed the trial is scheduled to begin on June 2. Prosecutors accuse Eric Holder Jr. of killing Nipsey Hussle outside of the West Coast artist’s Marathon Clothing store in 2019.

Holder, 32, was arrested just a few days after the shooting. A grand jury indicted him on one count each of murder and possession of a firearm by a felon as well as two counts each of attempted murder and assault with a firearm.

Prosecutors say Holder confronted Nipsey Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Joseph Asghedom, over snitching allegations.

“Apparently, the conversation had something to do with Mr. Asghedom telling Mr. Holder that word on the street was that Mr. Holder was snitching,” prosecutors told the grand jury. “The conversation wasn’t particularly intense, it wasn’t particularly belligerent, and it lasted for about four minutes.”

The situation escalated when Holder returned to the store’s parking lot and shot Nipsey Hussle multiple times. Deputy Medical Examiner Lawrence Nguyen said the late rapper suffered 11 gunshot wounds.

Holder has remained in jail since his 2019 arrest. He pleaded not guilty to all of the charges in the Nipsey Hussle murder case.

Charges Against Rod Wave Dismissed

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Rod Wave is no longer facing charges for alleged domestic violence.

Attorney Bradford Cohen announced the State Attorney’s Office dismissed a battery case against Rod Wave. The lawyer’s Instagram update included a screenshot of a court document, which noted “this case is not suitable for prosecution.”

“DISMISSED,” Cohen wrote on social media. “Myself and my main man David Bigney @bigneylawfirm represented Rodarius Green aka Rod Wave on his arrest last week, in Osceola County for an alleged domestic violence case. We are thrilled that this misunderstanding is behind him and he can move forward with a successful career.”

He continued, “Sometimes misunderstandings can be misconstrued and it isn’t until all the evidence and witnesses are reviewed that the right decision is made by the States Attorney. We thank the Osceola State Atty for his professionalism.”

Earlier this month, Rod Wave was charged with battery by strangulation. He was accused of choking his ex-girlfriend, who is the mother of his two children.

The incident allegedly occurred on April 24. The Alamo Records artist was arrested during a traffic stop in St. Petersburg, Florida, about a week later.

Rod Wave pleaded not guilty to the battery charge. He was released on $5,000 bail on May 3.

Social Media Compares Amber Heard’s Cross Exam To Rihanna’s 2009 Interview About Chris Brown Attack

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

The Amber Heard vs. Johnny Depp case is getting explosive after the actor’s ex-wife took the stand as their defamation case enters into its 19th day today (May 19th).

Amber Heard faces fresh criticism as people compared her testimony to new mother Rihanna’s 2009 interview about her domestic violence experience with Chris Brown.

According to Newsweek, during Amber Heard’s cross-examination, in a case where she is being sued for $50 million for defamation, people compared her to another high-profile domestic violence victim.

The “S.O.S.” singer said to Diane Sawyer, “It wasn’t the same person that says I love you. It was not those… eyes. He had … no soul in his eyes. Just blank. …He was clearly blacked out. There was no person when I looked at him.”

Amber Heard said on the stand, “It felt like he was on top of me, and I’m looking in his eyes and I don’t see him anymore…it wasn’t him. It was black. I’ve never been so scared in my life,” she continued.

As AllHipHop.com reported in 2009, Rihanna and Chris Brown were in a tumultuous and passionate relationship that publicly went left after the “Run It” singer beat her up during Grammy weekend.

Some even compared the two beauties, showing a photo of one’s injuries and another talking about her alleged brutalization.

Not everyone fell in line. Some were vehemently against the Rihanna comparisons being made against Amber Heard, who was clearly subjected to domestic violence at the hand of Johnny Depp. 

“I saw people using sound clips from [Heard’s] testimony where she describes rape and sexual assault to create comic videos, many of these people were women, and it was shocking to watch,” actor and writer Tova Leigh defended. “I couldn’t believe they were making fun of sexual violence or any violence for that matter.

“The fact they didn’t believe her didn’t matter in my opinion,” Leigh continued. “Sexual violence is not a joke. Imagine all the victims of sexual assault watching people making rape jokes. It is so wrong.”

Amber Heard is countersuing Johnny Depp for $100 million, saying despite what he thinks, she never defamed him because her abuse allegations are the truth.

Rihanna Gives Birth To Her First Child With A$AP Rocky – It’s A Boy!

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky are proud parents – the billionaire singer gave birth to a baby boy last week, on May 13th.

So far, they have yet to make an official announcement about the baby, nor have they revealed his name yet. 

The couple announced they were anticipating their first child together in January.  

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were associates for years, but they became lovers during the COVID-19 lockdown after taking a road trip from Los Angeles to New York in a large tour bus in 2020.

During a discussion with Vogue, Rihanna confessed they didn’t intend to have a baby when she became pregnant with A$AP Rocky’s child. 

“I wouldn’t say planning. But certainly not planning against it,” Rihanna stated. “I don’t know when I ovulate or any of that type of s###. We just had fun. And then it was just there on the test. I didn’t waste any time. I called him inside and showed him. Then I was in the doctor’s office the next morning, and our journey began.

“I always thought it would be marriage first, then a baby, but who the f### says it has to be that way. I’m certainly not gonna let that get in the way of me being a mom.”

Congrats!

DaBaby Says He Had To “Pay The Whole Airport” To Leave Nigeria

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

DaBaby might be a big dog in the United States, but he found out quickly during a visit to Africa that he has to pay like he weighs.

The chart-topping North Carolinian reportedly had to “pay the whole airport” to leave Nigeria during a recent visit.

The artist took to his Instagram to show people him in first class and wrote a brief statement about how folks in the country put the squeeze on him when he was trying to exit the nation, after recording a music video with Afrobeats megastar Davido. 

https://youtu.be/QawSc2-A_wU

The video was saved and shared on Twitter.

DaBaby revealed it was the Nigerian airport officials who extorted him. He wrote, “Boyyy I had to pay the whole airport off to make this flight.”

While he was in the motherland, he seemed to be right at home. Davido escorted him around and even took him to the hood, where he was more than welcomed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQAhM-F8P8A

The two rocked out in Lagos, according to Legit. The video they shot was filmed in a rural (but crowded) part of the city. Nigerians were just as excited to see him there, despite the expensive harassment during his departure.

The airport experience certainly did not change his opinion of his visit to Africa.

Bobby Brown Was Molested

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Bobby Brown is a solider.

The 53-year-old entertainer has an A&E Biography and he admits that a damn priest molested him. He specifically says the bastard TRIED to m##### him, but he said the priest touched his private parts. That means, he did – not tried.

He explained in a recent chat, “When my mother was arrested I was sent to temporary custody by social services which was supposed to be a religious place. It was not a nice place to be as a child. One of the priests tried to m##### me.”

You can see how conflicted Bobby is in the language he uses.

“He [the priest] tried to touch my private parts. There was no penetration or anything. He touched my privates and I didn’t like that. I punched and kicked and punched some more until he got away from me; so I ran away from there as quickly as possible,” he continued. “At that time I was a young boy I didn’t know what sexual boundaries were. I just knew I didn’t like being touched. Some things are hard to forget.”

Buddy was 10 years old at the time.

When are we going to condemn these bastards? They do this over and over and over and over again. This is a form of racism, in my opinion. No, they do not exclusively RAPE and RUIN Black, but they do pray on marginalized and disenfranchised people. This means poverty and race are a factor.

Bishop Nehru Responds To Concern Over His “Heroin Addiction” Music Video

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Yesterday, Bishop Nehru had a lot of people on the internet talking. Many social media users had a negative response to the 25-year-old emcee’s “Heroin Addiction” visual.

“I tried Heroin in the new video 😔,” tweeted Bishop Nehru on Tuesday afternoon. In the official music video, Nehru portrays himself injecting the drug into his veins.

While the former Nas and MF DOOM protégé posted a disclaimer on YouTube that stated he does not condone the use of hard drugs, some internet commenters still slammed Bishop Nehru for promoting heroin usage.

https://twitter.com/BishopNehru/status/1526629166887608322?s=20&t=brgAJKU3wYR2koIr2ZGn0w

“I don’t want to say it’s funny, because some people are actually concerned, but I just feel like you’re overreacting,” Nehru told HipHopDX about the backlash. “It’s [a] music video. You feel me?”

Apparently, people also disapproved of the fact that Bishop Nehru released the “Heroin Addiction” video because of his ties to Hip Hop legends like Nas, MF DOOM, and DJ Premier. Nehru responded to that criticism as well.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CJemzJoBTyv/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=8540a04f-862a-41e2-b00f-1cc10dab4cb1

“I’m honestly focused on the group that understands there’s a message, but obviously to the losers who think I’m doing it for attention and clout, I have to address them,” stated Nehru.

He continued, “I feel like if anyone else had did something like this, they wouldn’t care, but because it’s me and I’ve worked with DOOM, I’ve worked with Nas and DJ Premier, they’re trying to make it seem like I’m disrespecting them by putting out my art.”

Additionally, Bishop Nehru blasted Twitter users who he believes engage in “cancel culture.” The rapper/producer/director declared, “They’re frauds. They don’t really care about people – they just care about going viral, the same thing they’re saying that I care about.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

R&B singer/songwriter Teyana Taylor adds winning the Golden Mask Trophy to her personal list of career accomplishments. Performing as Firefly, Taylor outlasted her competitors on The Masked Singer.

Fox aired the season seven finale on Wednesday night. Host Nick Cannon helped reveal Taylor as the new champion. Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, Nicole Scherzinger, and Robin Thicke serve as panelists.

Teyana Taylor joins T-Pain, Wayne Brady, Kandi Burruss, LeAnn Rimes, Nick Lachey, and Jewel as winners of The Masked Singer. The Goldbergs actress Hayley Orrantia (Ringmaster) finished as the runner-up to Taylor.

Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson (Prince) came in third place. This season of The Masked Singer featured En Vogue (Queen Cobras), Shaggy (Space Bunny), Kirstie Alley (Baby Mammoth), Jennifer Holliday (Miss Teddy), Penn & Teller (Hydra), and other celebrities as well.

Republican politician Rudy Giuliani performed as Jack In The Box. Giuliani’s involvement caused some backlash directed at the show. Critics took issue with the program platforming someone allegedly connected to the January 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol.

Besides being The Masked Singer gold medalist, Teyana Taylor’s week also included her sharing the stage with Sean “Diddy” Combs at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. Plus, the “Wake Up Love” vocalist is preparing to head out on “The Last Rose Petal 2… Farewell Tour” in June.

Haimov Jewelers Addresses Lil Meech’s Arrest For Stealing $275K Watch

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. faces theft and fraud charges in Miami, Florida. Police arrested the BMF star for allegedly stealing a $275,000 watch.

Many observers questioned why an actor on a 50 Cent-produced Starz show would take a timepiece without paying for it. Law enforcement officials claim Lil Meech attempted to trade a $275,000 Richard Mille Roberto Mancini watch given to him on consignment to another jeweler.

According to Hollywood Unlocked, Haimov Jewelers issued a statement about the situation via Instagram Stories. The celebrity news blog account reposted the jewelry store’s social media response to Lil Meech’s arrest.

The message from Haimov Jewelers read:

Haimov Jewelers is a family business. You cannot trade a watch that wasn’t paid for to another jeweler. And take the next jeweler’s watch and not pay them as well. We all work hard for our money and do clean business. We reached out many, many times but you ignore [us]. If someone owed you $200K would you let that slide? We put our blood, sweat, and tears into making this business successful. We came from the [bottom].

@haimovjewelers Instagram (via @hollywoodunlocked)

Authorities charged Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr. with two counts of first-degree grand theft and one count of organized fraud. The 22-year-old entertainer was released on a $150,000 bond.

BMF premiered on the Starz network in 2021. The drama series tells the fictionalized story of the nationwide drug trafficking organization known as the Black Mafia Family. Lil Meech plays his own currently incarcerated father, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory.

Cardi B To Appear On David Letterman’s ‘My Next Guest Needs No Introduction’

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Season 4 of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman will premiere on Netflix this Friday (May 20). The legendary talk show host spoke to Cardi B, Kevin Durant, Billie Eilish, Will Smith, and other celebrities for the 6-episode series.

David Letterman provided a brief preview of the upcoming Cardi B episode. In a clip posted to Twitter, the Grammy-winning Hip Hop superstar discussed her decision to speak out on social issues.

“I don’t really put a lot of political things in my music, but I use the f### out of my platform,” Cardi told Letterman. “And I have used my platform even when I was a dancer. Because you might think people are not looking, but they are.”

She also added, “I’m a hood chick, and I’m from the Bronx. A lot of people relate to me and follow me because they want to see how I’m dressed, my lifestyle. So I feel like I have a responsibility to share [with] them, like, ‘Hey, while you’re here and you’re checking my outfit and checking my music, check out what’s going on over here.'”

Cardi B Has A History Of Addressing Political Topics

Throughout her music career, Cardi B has been very outspoken when comes to politics. Just this week, the Invasion of Privacy album creator weighed in on the racially-motivated mass shooting in Buffalo, New York.

Previously, Cardi interviewed left-leaning politicians such as Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders and then-former Vice President Joe Biden during the 2020 United States presidential campaign. Biden even picked up an endorsement from the “WAP” hitmaker for the general election.

Cardi B has also gone head-to-head with right-wing politicians and pundits on social media. Back in 2019, she famously popularized the phrase “dog walk” during a Twitter takedown of conservative commentator Tomi Lahren.

Additionally, Cardi B was one of the most outspoken critics of Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron. The Republican law enforcement official is responsible for not pursuing serious charges against the police officers who shot Breonna Taylor, the African-American EMT killed during a botched raid.

By: London JennnCategory: News

Quavo and Takeoff announced their upcoming collaboration “Hotel Lobby” arrives on Friday (May 20) under their new alias, Unc & Phew. However, the news comes amid mounting speculation that the duo has ditched partner Offset and The Migos are no more.  

The pair also shared the artwork for the single, revealing a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas influence on the perfect. “Unc And Phew Presents The Hotel Lobby Friday! @yrntakeoff 🚀 “ wrote Quavo on Instagram. The Unc And Phew moniker references their family ties – Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle.

A post shared by TakeOff🚀 (@yrntakeoff)

While it is unclear if Unc and Phew will release a joint project or just a single, there could be some discord among The Migos trio.  

As AllHipHop reported, rumors of a rift began when fans discovered that Offset stopped following both members of the newly formed Unc and Phew on Instagram. This led to speculation that the group has broken up though there has been no official comment. 

The discovery that Cardi B has also stopped following Quavo and Takeoff caused further assumptions.  

While the “WAP” hitmaker has remained silent on the latest Unc and Phew developments, she did take to Twitter to mention she had been doing a social media cleanse. However, she did suggest she unfollowed some accounts accidentally. 

“I should of did a screen recording of the pages I unfollowed,” she wrote. “Cause now I’m trying to follow back and don’t remember the @ names” 

The Game Announces “Drillmatic” Will Prove “I’m The Best Rapper Alive” 

By: London JennnCategory: News

While The Game has been beefing with Eminem recently, calling him out for a rap battle and claiming the Detroit emcee can’t rap with him, he does have love for other rappers and isn’t afraid to give them their flowers. 

Furthermore, after declaring last month that “the Black Slim Shady is coming,” the Compton native revealed the imminent arrival of his new project, “Drillmatic.” Despite having love for other artists, he promised to deliver the best album this year.  

“I know my album gone be the best album of 2022 cause the energy feels like I just signed my deal,” The Game penned on Instagram. “You’ve never heard me rap like this, I promise you.” 

The Game Shows Love To His Peers

The Game continued, praising some of his peers for producing great work in 2022. “So far on the level of great projects this year in my genre, I loved @kingpush’s project & @kendricklamar’s art is always more than appreciated and is still in the process of being broken down this very minute. Both @denzelcurryph & @vincestaples had albums I never knew I needed…. @getbenny & @whoisconway’s solo projects made me feel like REAL RAP will always be supreme.” 

However, The Game believes his next album will be the best project to emerge in 2022. “#Drillmatic though…. I can honestly say nothing rap related will be able to stand next to this in 2022. When it drops, I promise you that if you put your ear to it you will then understand why I’m the best rapper alive.” 

He also acknowledged the “controversy” surrounding him and says he won’t let it hold him back any longer. “My controversy has always stepped on my greatness, but that’s all about to change. This album has a strong hold on being the best album of my career. It’s just different… the last time I pulled over & wrote in my car was “I don’t need your love” on The Documentary. Only thing is, back then it was a U-Haul. Today I pulled over the G-Wagon on Labrea because I couldn’t believe how dope the s### in my head was….” 

The Game revealed the album is his priority, and he will not stop until it’s ready, which he claims will be here before this time next month. “I’m parked & I’m not moving until this last song is written & completed,” he added. “Follow your dreams…. If I could, you can. #Drillmatic is yours in less than 30 days #Numinati 🥷🏿”

Jay-Z Tried To Stop Club DJ From Playing “Ether” The Day It Dropped Claims Rass Kass 

By: London JennnCategory: News

Jay-Z was out at an NYC club with Damon Dash the day Nas dropped “Ether,” and tried to have the song shut down, but the DJ refused.  

The beef between Jay-Z and Nas was one of the most monumental in Hip-Hop history. 

One of the standout moments of the feud was the release of Nas’ scathing diss track “Ether” in 2001. Jay-Z followed up with “Supa Ugly,” which was so vicious Hov’s mother called him to tell him he went too far. 

While the beef continued until 2005, the day “Ether” came out was a tense one for Jay-Z. During a recent interview, Rass Kass recalled the day it dropped and changed everything. 

“It had to be 10 a.m., 11 a.m. when Nas bops in,” he recalls. “He’s usually very chill. Every time I’ve encountered him, he’s humble and nice. Not to say he wasn’t humble then, but he walked in, boppin’. I remember for like an hour, me him and Premier talking, like an overview of the record […] At the time, Jay was crushin’ everything. 

“It was interesting watching the changing of the guards […] I knew some of the things that Nas was sayin’. I didn’t even know all of it, as far as the personal jabs on that record. I lived with JAY-Z for a summer, so I just knew it was clinically written deadly. It was a deadly written, personal record. ” 

Jay-Z Reacts To “Ether” At The Club

However, later that night, Rass Kas saw Hov’s live reaction to “Ether,” when he went out to a local New York City club. JAY-Z and fellow Roc-A-Fella co-founder Damon Dash were also in attendance when the DJ played the diss. Ras says Jay-Z was unamused and told Dame Dash to get the DJ to stop the track, but the DJ refused.  

“The ironic part is I saw [Nas] during the day at the studio, then at night, I went out to the club,” he continued. “We went out and saw Jay and Dame at the club […] They played ‘Ether’ in the club and Jay was heated, and I remember that. I remember him saying, ‘Dame, tell that n#### to turn that s### off.’ 

According to Rass Kass, the DJ wouldn’t cut the song because the crowd was loving it. “But the club was going up, and that’s when I knew it was over. The DJ was like, ‘F### that,’ and played that s###. And the club went up. That’s when I knew Nas won. The streets had spoken. The DJ played it and Jay was in the building […] Nas beat Jay,” he concluded.

Her love life has been under the social media spotlight and there has been much speculation surrounding who Lizzo may be dating. Fans will get the chance to see her “losing and gaining love” during the film.

Have The Migos Broken Up?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

We might be witnessing the end of an era! Apparently, Offset stop following both Quavo and Takeoff on Instagram! And the rumors started from there! These guys are like family that did not stop black Twitter from jumping to the assumption that they completely broke up. It also should be noted that Cardi B is also no longer following Quavo or Takeoff either.

So, this certainly sparked the rumor that the group has broken up. Now, Quavo and Takeoff are blood related and have recently started a new group. I don’t know if this represents a separation or a friction, but is certainly strikes me as weird that 2/3 of the group is doing an album. And, on the flip, groups like Wu and Bone Thugs have always had different variables.

In the past, the trio has recorded solo albums and group projects. Their last album Culture III came out in 2021 two mixed reviews. So far, the Migos are not talking.

But this does not mean the streets are not talking.

Tweets too.

Hulu’s trailer confirms the documentary won’t avoid covering the abuse allegations against XXXTentacion. The controversial artist was facing multiple criminal charges prior to his death in 2018.

Look At Me: XXXTentacion premiered at the 2022 South by Southwest Festival in March. The film will be available to stream on Hulu on May 26.

Sabaah Folayan directed the documentary. FADER Films produced it with Rob Stone among the executive producers.

“Look at Me explores how Florida teenager Jahseh Onfroy became SoundCloud rapper XXXTentacion, one of the most streamed artists on the planet,” the official synopsis reads. “Through frank commentary from family, friends and romantic partners, and unseen archival footage, director Sabaah Folayan offers a sensitive portrayal of an artist whose acts of violence, raw musical talent and open struggles with mental health left an indelible mark on his generation before his death at the age of 20.”
