Doja Cat On Some Creep’s Kill List – Until Cops Step In

A crazed fan, who was embarrassed by Grammy Award winner Doja Cat in a private group chat, has reportedly threatened her life. However, law enforcement was quick to jump in, after being notified of the individual’s remarks.

According to TMZ, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has already identified a guy, who earlier in the week was talking slick in a fan-centered private chat hosted by the “Say So” recording artist. When his language started to get out of hand, Doja Cat ejected him from the room. He returned later and said he was going to kill the Doja and would see her soon.

Sources state this prompted the celebrity to call the police on (Thursday) December 29 to file a complaint. Law enforcement is now investigating it as a criminal threat.

This is not the only time Doja Cat was connected to controversy while in a chat room. In May 2020, the artist was allegedly in a chat room with white supremacists using racially derogatory language.

AllHipHop.com that she apologized and denied intentionally engaging with racists in a now deleted Instagram post.

She said, “I learned that there are racist people who come in and out of the chat. They happen, then they’re banned. The idea that this chat room is a white supremacist chat room  – I don’t understand it in any way. There is racism that happens across Tinychat, Instagram, and Twitter. This sh*t happens everywhere. It just happens more on Tinychat because it’s not as monitored.”

“So when you see racist sh*t on Tinychat, it’s because people aren’t paying attention. There are mods that are idle. There was a time where I was a mod and I was able to ban people for actions like that or harassing women. This happens a lot on Tinychat. But Tinychat is a place for everybody,” She continued.

Doja Cat added, “I’ve seen it and I know I’ve been targeted by it, and I know that it’s controllable. But the narrative that it’s a white supremacist chat is completely incorrect. It’s absolutely, 100% f*cking incorrect.”

Barbara Walters, Trailblazing Journalist Who Interviewed JAY-Z, Kanye West, Diddy & More, Dead At 93

By: Kyle Eustice Updated Category: News

Barbara Walters, trailblazing journalist and television icon, has reportedly died at 93. According to ABC, she passed away quietly at her New York City residence on Friday (December 30). Walters was famous for her in-depth interviews with important cultural figures, celebrities, musicians, residents and sports legends. She also never shied away from interviewing Hip Hop artists—no matter how controversial. From JAY-Z and Kanye West to Will Smith and Diddy, Walters had a way of getting even the most hardened rappers to open up.

In 2005, Walters included Kanye West on her list of the “10 Most Fascinating People of 2005,” while JAY-Z made the list the following year. West popped up on the same list again in 2013. Years later, she got Diddy to admit he envied JAY-Z’s and Beyoncé’s relationship during an appearance on The View, the daytime talkshow Walters founded.

“I’d love to have what Jay and Beyonce have,” Diddy said at the time. “My ideal woman has to have intellect and soul. I don’t woo them with flowers, I need to know they like me for real.”

Walters also sat down with Will Smith multiple times over the years for extensive interviews, one of which went slightly left when the blockbuster movie star suggested the AIDS virus was created by the government.

Although Walters officially retired from journalism in 2014, her legacy lives on through her provocative conversations with hundreds of subjects. Her 1999 interview with Monica Lewinsky, former president Bill Clinton’s infamous mistress, netted the biggest audience ever for a journalist.

Beyond Walters’ interviews, the Emmy Award-winner’s moxie helped blaze a trail for other women to follow beginning in the 1960s. After putting in 12 years at NBC, she became the highest-paid television journalist when she accepted a $1 million contract from ABC. At one point, she was earning as much as $12 million per year at the company, where she worked from 1976 until her retirement.

Naturally, Twitter has blown up with reactions to Barbara Walters’ death. Fellow anchor Dan Rather, actress Alyssa Milano, NBA superstar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and co-worker David Muir were among the hundreds mourning on social media. Check out some of the reactions below.

Ye Tops Palestinian Authority On Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Anti-Semitism 2023 List

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

The Simon Wiesenthal Center has released its annual Global Anti-Semitism Top Ten list, and the person to hit the top of the chart in 2022 is none other than Ye (formerly known as Kanye West). 

The list includes organizations and individuals who have contributed to the spread of anti-Semitism. The rapper topped the United Nations Human Rights Council, Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority, and the Black Hebrew Israelite Movement.

Ye has made headlines this year for his anti-Semitic comments about Jewish people, including tweeting that he was going to “deathcon 3 on Jewish people,” expressing admiration for Adolf Hitler, and denying parts of the Holocaust on Alex Jones’s Infowars show, while suggesting that Jews should forgive Hitler. 

The mainstreaming of anti-Semitism on social media, led partly by Ye, has had severe consequences. It has fueled anti-Semitic hate crimes and normalized anti-Jewish hate speech, causing harm and fear for Jewish individuals worldwide.

“The unprecedented mainstreaming of Jew-hatred on social media, led by Kanye West (Ye), fueled anti-Semitic hate crimes and normalized anti-Jewish hate speech,” stated Rabbi Marvin Hier, SWC Founder and CEO. “Politicians offer words of solace to Jewish victims but failed to take effective measures to curb the attacks, while UN diplomats, cultural and academic elite often legitimize hatred of the Jewish state.”

Earlier this month, Ye was named “Antisemite of the Year” by watchdog group StopAntisemitism, who called him the “most problematic” person of 2022. 

The group made its decision after weeks of research and nearly 10,000 votes from members online. 

As a result of Ye’s actions, Adidas, GAP, and Balenciaga ended their partnerships with him, causing his net worth to plummet from over $2 billion to just over $400 million. 

Ye also had his honorary degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago revoked and has been suspended from Twitter and Instagram for his vitriolic speech.

Trontavious Stephens, one of Young Thug’s co-defendants in YSL RICO case, accepted a plea deal on Thursday (December 29).

Stephens, who’s also known as Tick, admitted YSL associates sold drugs at two gas stations in Atlanta at Thursday’s court hearing. Stephens confirmed Young Thug chided YSL members for not attacking or shooting someone in a group chat in May 2021.

“Y’all ain’t beat him up or shot him yet?” Young Thug asked Stephens and other YSL members. “Y’all getting soft.”

Stephens pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to violate Georgia’s RICO Act. He was sentenced to 10 years with two years commuted to time served and eight years of probation.

The 29-year-old man became Young Thug’s eighth co-defendant to plead guilty instead of facing trial. Gunna, Lil Duke, Slimelife Shawty and Young Thug’s brother Unfoonk were among the other men who accepted plea deals in the RICO case.

Stephens and another co-defendant named Antonio Sledge agreed to testify at trial as part of their plea deals. Young Thug’s co-defendants Derontae Bebee and Tenquarius Mender were offered plea deals, but both men rejected the offers.

Jury selection in Young Thug’s RICO case is scheduled to begin on January 4. The trial is expected to start on January 9.

EXCLUSIVE: MedSpa Owner Goes Hard On The Shade Room In Battle Over 50 Cent’s Penis

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: Exclusives

A MedSpa owner believes 50 Cent wrongfully sued her instead of The Shade Room in a dispute over his penis.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, attorneys for Angela Kogan submitted affirmative defenses to 50 Cent’s lawsuit on Thursday (December 29). The G-Unit rapper sued Kogan for allegedly implying he received penis enlargement surgery.

Kogan’s lawyers pointed the blame at The Shade Room in their defense of the MedSpa owner. Her attorneys said 50 Cent’s true gripe is with The Shade Room, which published a photo of him and Kogan together alongside an article about penis enlargement surgery.

“Plaintiff is not entitled to relief against Defendants as Plaintiff has failed to properly plead against the offending party; namely, The Shade Room,” Kogan’s lawyers contended. “The Shade Room is the author of the Article, and pulled the Photo from Kogan’s social media without Kogan’s permission or consent. The Shade Room is the publisher of the Article, and Plaintiff has improperly applied the actions of The Shade Room to Defendant.”

Kogan participated in an interview with The Shade Room for a story about penis enlargement, but she didn’t provide the outlet with her photo of 50 Cent. She denied insinuating he underwent the surgery.

50 Cent sued Kogan for unauthorized misappropriation, invasion of privacy, false endorsement, false advertising, conversion and unjust enrichment. His lawsuit took aim at Kogan’s photo of the two posing together, which she claimed he agreed to let her use on social media.

“Plaintiff is not entitled to relief against Defendants, as Plaintiff is not the owner of the Photo,” her attorneys maintained. “As Kogan is the owner of the Photo, Kogan maintains copyright ownership therein, which rights preempt right of publicity claims.”

They added, “Plaintiff is not entitled to relief against Defendants, as the Photo and use thereof was taken in exchange for MedSpa services provided by Defendants to Plaintiff. In exchange for Plaintiff’s receipt of MedSpa services, Plaintiff consented to Kogan’s taking and use of the Photo.”

Kogan’s attorneys said 50 Cent “has not suffered any actual injury or harm.” His case will head to trial in July 2023 if a settlement isn’t reached.

Humiliated Tattooed Dude Must Pay Cardi B’s Hefty Legal Bills

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

The man who filed a complaint against Cardi B has been ordered to pay her legal fees.

Plaintiff Kevin Brophy filed a lawsuit against “Up” rapper Cardi B for using an image of his back tattoo on the cover of her mixtape “Gangsta B***h Music Vol 1.” 

After a jury found in October this year that the cover art did not otherwise use Brophy’s likeness or portray him in a negative light, Brophy filed a request to overturn the verdict.

US District Judge Cormac J Carney ruled against overturning the earlier jury’s verdict, arguing that the filing was too late and lacked merit. The judge subsequently ordered Brophy to pay the rapper’s attorney fees.

In a ruling, the judge argued that “reasons abound to sustain the jury’s verdict of not liable on all claims” – including that, on the cover, “the model appears non-white with black hair while Brophy is white and has a shaved head.” 

For this reason, the judge ruled that the man on the mixtape’s cover could not be mistaken for Brophy, despite the copied tattoo.

“The jury had an ample basis for its verdict. For example, the jury could have reasonably concluded that the back tattoo on the model on the mixtape cover at issue in this suit was not sufficiently identifiable with Brophy to constitute misappropriation of his likeness or depiction in a false light,” the judge summarized. “Because the model’s face is not visible, identification based on facial appearance is impossible.”

Pop Smoke’s Brooklyn Mural Vandalized By Thugs

A mural of the late rapper Pop Smoke has been vandalized.

Located in the chart-topper’s hometown of Brooklyn, on the side of a papi/ahki shop at 8125 Flatlands Ave, the blue-sky wall with Pop Smoke’s smiling face at the end was defaced not just with graffiti— but a vile message.

The soulless hoodlum wrote “Woo K” in black spray paint across the sky and cloud portion of the piece.

The term is disturbing enough. The Woo, according to Respect my Region, is a Brooklyn gang blended of Blood and Crip members. 

But for some, “K” means “killer,” making the vandalization a proclamation of hate for the set and someone considered one of the most iconic voices of the gang.

According to some to members of the Woo, “Woo K” means the same thing “C K”  conveys to members of the Crip gang.

A photo of the diss started to make its rounds on Wednesday, December 28th.

The original piece was commissioned by Hattas Studios, the group that did similar tributes to King Von and Nipsey Hussle.

This is not the first time a Pop Smoke memorial site has been vandalized. 

Thugs smashed a grave marker and a marble plaque at the Green-Wood Cemetery last year.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Pop Smoke, whose real name was Bashar Jackson, was murdered in an Airbnb in Hollywood Hills in February 2020, allegedly by a group of teens and young adults who broke in to rob the rising star.

New York City To Observe The National Day of Remembrance for Gun-Related Homicide Victims

The City of New York will recognize The National Day of Remembrance for Gun-Related Homicide Victims on Friday, Dec. 30 at 3 pm at the Barclays Center at 620 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, the actual borough that has had the most murders in it for almost ten years.

According to a press release, Mayor Eric Adams and New York City’s Czar of Gun Violence Prevention, Andre “AT” Mitchell will be hosting the city’s inaugural observance, standing in solidarity with other municipalities across the United States, particularly those who have lost an excessive amount of citizens to gun violence.

Other government officials, community members, faith-based leaderships, violence interrupters, and other anti-violence organizations will also host.

Some of the cities are Mt. Vernon, NY; Chicago, IL; Newark, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; Baltimore, MD; Atlanta, GA; Washington, D.C.; Jacksonville, FL; Durham & Charlotte N.C.; and Jackson, MS, but more are sure to step up.

Special guest speakers will be Audrey Jackson (Mother of Pop Smoke) and Mysonne Da General (Rap Artist, Civil Rights Activist, and Co-founder of Until Freedom), and they will speak on behalf of the “families, loved ones, and friends of the 240 victims identified in 2022 who lost their lives to the scourge of gun violence, will be there to stand together in healing and hope.”

A.T. Mitchell said, “As we come to the end of the year, we will have a conversation about gun violence numbers for 2022, as we should.”

Adding that those who were lost are not just numbers, “they were fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, nieces, nephews, friends, and loved ones. We need to remember them publicly, by name as we close out this year and begin a new one with a collective citywide New Year’s Resolution to further intensify the work to reduce and prevent the disease of gun violence in 2023.”

Ironically, according to CBS News, the nation’s deadliest city, St. Louis is not one of the cities participating. Baltimore, a city with a murder rate of 58.27 per 100,000, makes the list at #2. D.C. enters into the list of top 20 murderous cities at #13 and Philly comes in at #16.

Atlanta misses the list, coming in at #22 and having a murder rate of 19.53 per 100,000. Not all of the violence is fueled by Black-on-Black crime. Last year, a gunman shot up a spa, killing eight people (majority Asian). Chicago, which has been in the headlines because of its connection to the violent drill movement, ranks on this national list as #28, with Newark right behind it at #30.

Jacksonville arrives on the list at #45.

Two North Carolina metropolitans rounded up the list on Durham hits the compilation at #52 and Charlotte at #59.

New York City does not make the list.

The observance will start with a release of the doves ceremony. The reading of gun-related homicide victims’ names (in groups of ten) will follow. 

The ceremony will conclude with a release of a single white balloon to represent the recognition of life and the commitment to Peace in the New Year. 

Trae Tha Truth Arrested For Assaulting Z-Ro

Recording artist and philanthropist Trae The Truth turned himself in to authorities yesterday (December 29th) after rapper Z-Ro pressed charges against him for assault following an altercation in Houston in August 2022. 

Z-Ro accused Trae The Truth (also his cousin) of assault following an altercation on August 27th after a charity dinner hosted by rap star 50 Cent as part of his annual Tycoon Weekend.

In a video statement released after the one-sided fight, Z-Ro claimed that he was approached by Trae and was asked to speak with him privately. 

When Z-Ro agreed and followed Trae to the side of a bus, he claimed he was punched and then attacked by a group of unknown individuals. 

The altercation was captured on video, showing multiple people punching and kicking Z-Ro. The rapper also indicated that he did not know the individuals who participated in the attack.

Trae discussed his demeanor with AllHipHop during an interview prior to his fight with Z-Ro. 

“I’m a laid back cat. I’m cool as can be until you create the monster, then I can be something way different. Most of the time I’m laid back and cool man. It makes me feel different when so many people can see me on TV or see me doing this or doing that, then see me in public and realize “man, he’s the same as us and just as cool as us,” Trae told AllHipHop.com.

In a previous interview with AllHipHop, Z-Ro also discussed his meaning of the “G-Code.” 

“It means that you keep it real with your peoples, but more importantly, you keep it real with yourself. You are a grown man who takes care of his responsibility. You are aware that only the strong survive, and you survive the best way you know how. I am not saying that people should go out and hustle drugs or kill, but I know firsthand because I had to deal with that type of stuff. As I said earlier, being honest and real with yourself and others,” Z-Ro told AllHipHop.com.

Despite the charges, Trae remains in good spirits and is currently out on bail while awaiting the next steps in his defense against the accusations. 

Trae is well-known for his charitable efforts, including providing aid for the Jackson water crisis, participating in rescue efforts in Florida, supporting youth causes, and, most recently, helping an elderly woman who was arrested for not paying her trash bill. 

The rapper’s fans are hoping for a swift resolution to the situation.

Is Rihanna Acting Out Before Super Bowl Performance?

We all love Rihanna.

I just wanted to state that before anything else was said. So, what’s the issue? Rihanna is slated to do the Super Bowl in a little over a month or so. This is massive. However, there have been some performance challenges with the Fenty Queen in the past. I am CERTAIN she is going to kill it, but some people have some concerns.

A recent rumor has stated that Rihanna has not been fully compliant with regard to the rehearsals. Specifically, they said that she was five hours late for a rehearsal that was slated to start at 12 am. First off all, what is a rehearsal doing starting at that time. Secondly, how is she getting there that late, which is actually very, very early?!

Isn’t RiRi worth a billion?

I am thinking she can do whatever she wants at this time! On the real side of life, I think she should take this seriously, if there’s any truth to the rumor. We know she is truly one of our favorites. I am in love with her forever, but nobody wants to see her turn into the subject of social media clownery! That is exactly what will happen if she does not ACE this. We already know the Beyonce comparison are on the way!

Let’s go, Navy!

Charleston White Is Happy To See Young Thug’s Crew Fold Up

We really do make just about anybody famous these days. I mean, its not like white people care about Charleston White, but it sure seems to me that he is more of a pariah to the culture than a person that cares about young Black men!

Anyway, he recently got on a blog and rejoiced that Young Thug’s people are indeed falling like toy soldiers. Thugger is not. He is going to go to trial and take it to the end. But, the way his people are looking, this is not going to end well.

But, celebrating? I think that is silly. I think it is better to see the sadness in the mayhem. These people were not born to end in RICO. That’s a tragedy! This only means that somewhere along the way, the system failed. That does not really mean American systems, it could be the community systems. ANYWAY, check out what Charlie Boy had to say and tell me what you think.

Will Bill Cosby be back in front of live crowds soon? It appears the 85-year-old comedian wants to tour in 2023, and Boosie Badazz expressed his excitement for the chance to see Cosby perform.

In 2018, a Pennsylvania jury convicted Bill Cosby of sexually assaulting Andrea Constand. He was sentenced to three to ten years in state prison. In June 2021, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby’s conviction.

According to reports, Bill Cosby stated in an interview that he plans to tour again next year. His management confirmed spring or summer as the expected time period for the outing. WGH Talk host Scott Spears recently spoke to The Cosby Show creator about his possible return to the stage.

Bill Cosby Wants To Continue Telling Stories

When asked if 2023 will be a touring year for him, Cosby responded, “Yes, because there’s so much fun to be had in this storytelling that I do. Years ago, maybe 10 years ago, I found it was better to say it after I write it.”

Boosie got wind of the news that Bill Cosby is at least considering going on the road in the coming months. The Baton Rouge-raised rapper promoted Cosby’s pending comeback to his 1.2 million Twitter followers.

“GOTTA CATCH A FEW DATES OF THE BILL COSBY TOUR!! MY BOY GO HAVE YALL LAUGHING #letslaugh,” tweeted Boosie Badazz on December 29. Boosie has been a longtime Cosby supporter.

Boosie Has Also Backed Convicted Sex Trafficker R. Kelly

In September 2021, Bill Cosby expressed appreciation for Boosie Badazz’s support. The Philadelphia native encouraged his fans to watch Boosie’s My Struggle movie. Boosie thanked the polarizing figure.

After facing dozens of sexual misconduct accusations going back to the 1960s, five women filed a lawsuit against Bill Cosby earlier this month. The plaintiffs accused him of assault, false imprisonment, and more. While many of Boosie’s followers agreed that a Cosby tour is worth checking out, other social media users took issue with the promotion of an alleged sexual abuser.

This comes after Boosie Badazz encountered backlash a year ago for downplaying convicted sex offender R. Kelly’s reported abuse of young women and girls. Earlier this year, Boosie also complained about the R&B singer receiving a 30-year sentence for his federal racketeering and sex trafficking conviction.

Benzino Claims Kevin Hart & DJ Khaled Used Him For Fame & Money

Raymond “Benzino” Scott had a lot to get off his chest yesterday (December 29). The former co-owner of The Source magazine went on Twitter to call out comedian Kevin Hart and Hip Hop star DJ Khaled.

At first, Benzino took aim at unnamed podcasters by calling them “too arrogant & egotistical” in a tweet. The 57-year-old reality show veteran also accused podcast hosts of clout chasing before turning his attention to Hart and Khaled.

“It’s funny how I gave Kevin Hart, DJ Khaled, all the guys love,” posted Benzino around 8:50 pm ET on Thursday. Ten minutes later, he returned to the platform to offer more thoughts about the two entertainers.

Benzino tweeted, “It’s funny how when I owned The Source and [executive produced] The Source Awards, I gave a lot [of] these guys who are successful a major platform and some even a bag, but when I fell, they all act like they don’t [know] me. I just smile [at] how [they’re] big ‘celebrities’ now, back then needed my platform and helped them.”

He also added, “I remember DJ Khalid dying to [deejay] The Source Awards and to be in the magazine and I made it happen, or Kevin Hart wanting to host and I made it happen. Funkmaster Flex [is] another [one], I let him [deejay]. Now, these n##### act like I’m a stranger, people don’t [give a f###], they use [you] with no reciprocation.”

Coi Leray, Benzino’s Daughter, Previously Asked People To Pray For Her Father

Benzino’s social media rant did not end there. The former Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta cast member went on to say that there are many “fake, phony, selfish” people in his life. Zino also insisted he was not mad and ended his Twitter diatribe by telling his followers that he has never changed.

“Falling is a part of life, you fall, you get up, you keep going. I’ll be up again, I’m from the dirt, I’m a hustler’s hustler. I got good karma. One thing about me is I never switched up, I’m the same now as I was when I was getting it. I always showed and show love,” concluded Benzino.

This year has also seen Benzino continue his decades-long feuds with Eminem and 50 Cent. In addition, The Antidote album creator seemingly had a falling out with his daughter, recording artist Coi Leray.

In April, Coi Leray publicly suggested Benzino “go get help” after he lashed out on Twitter in response to reports of family bickering between the two rappers. Leray also asked people to pray for her father a few days later.

Social Media Reacts To Adin Ross Asking Joe Biden To Pardon Andrew Tate

Romanian authorities detained controversial internet personality Andrew Tate on Thursday. People worldwide, including Twitch streamer Adin Ross, shared their reactions to the news.

Apparently, Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate have been under investigation in the country since April. Prosecutors accuse the siblings of suspicion of human trafficking, rape, and organized crime.

Adin Ross decided to comment on the Tates being arrested. The 22-year-old YouTuber used his platform to call on United States President Joe Biden to release Andrew Tate from custody in Romania.

“[Nah,] I ain’t gonna lie tho – Joe Biden please go ahead and pardon Andrew Tate. Donald Trump woulda been on it already, 🥱 unfortunately, Trump clears you sleepy Joe,” tweeted Adin Ross on Thursday.

Adin Ross Also Uploads A Video Response To The News Of Andrew Tate’s Arrest

Other social media users pushed back on Adin Ross’s, perhaps tongue-in-cheek, take. Many tweeters rightly pointed out that Joe Biden has no power to pardon Andrew Tate for alleged crimes in Romania.

“Trump would have definitely pardoned a British citizen arrested by the Romanian government lmao,” wrote one Twitter user. Another account posted, “These are the streamers and YouTubers kids are watching every single day. Not a cogent thought has ever floated between those ears.”

Additionally, Adin Ross uploaded a video addressing Andrew Tate’s current legal situation. The Florida-born, California-raised influencer stated that he hopes the allegations against Tate are not true.

Ross Has Over 12 Million Followers/Subscribers On Twitter, YouTube & Twitch

Back on Twitter, many users also called out Adin Ross for requesting Andrew Tate’s freedom before a criminal case is brought against him. Critics especially took issue with Ross’s pardon demand when Tate faces sex trafficking charges.

Adin Ross currently has 891,000 subscribers on his self-titled YouTube channel and another 3.2 million subscribers on his Adin Live channel. An additional 7 million accounts follow him on Twitch. His Twitter page has 1.7 million followers.

Ten days ago, Ross published a video titled “Adin Ross & Andrew Tate FUNNIEST Moments..😂” which featured the accused rapist. Numerous Hip Hop stars – such as Tory Lanez, NLE Choppa, Blueface, and DDG – have appeared on Ross’s stream as well.
