By: Houston Williams Updated Category: Exclusives

It looks as if marvel is really ready to take it to the next level, in their diversity and inclusion. The comic book giant is rumored to be creating a new version of the iconic character The Punisher.

If you know anything about The Punisher, you know that the character is derivative of a lot of the vigilantes from the 1980s. Well it is no longer the 1980s and those types of characters were often rooted in racial stereotypes.. Well, no more!

To make things worse, the symbol of The Punisher, which is a skull across the chest. Actually has been adopted by white nationalists, Blue Lives Matter bums and other random racist pieces of crap. So, they have essentially ruined the nature of the character, which was already pretty bad in hindsight. (He was super cool back in the day, I admit.) So they took something that was already a bit racist and made it even more racist. How the hell did they do that?

Anyway, Marvel is rumored to be taking a whole different position on the character after attempting several iterations in movies and in TV. Most recently they had a series on Netflix that had Big Punisher represented pretty well. Nevertheless, it was a failed effort that ultimately was canceled.

Now that these racist pigs have adopted The Punisher for their own, Marvel may be looking to resuscitate it for the modern world. And that makes The Punisher black. Will they actually do this? Who knows.

I know there is one person that wants it! The Punisher co-creator Gerry Conway has said that he wants to see a reboot where Punisher comes back as a Black veteran who “faces the issues that minorities in the world face today.”

Before I go on, look at how they have taken The Punisher.

Marvel's “Punisher” Was a Hate Symbol Long Before Police Co-opted His Character

The Cops are doing this…

Police Have Embraced the Punisher Skull as an Unofficial Logo. Now the Character's Creator Is Asking Artists of Color to Reclaim It

Real comic book heads know that they flirted around with making The Punisher Black a while ago in the comic book world and it was a little bit hilarious. But the word is The Punisher will address police brutality and his vision of vigilanteism will manifest itself in that form. Yes, The Punisher may be taking on the cops! I cannot imagine this going over well, but if they do it, I am supporting it all the way. We HAVE to stand up these racist bullies! Look at that cop car with a SKULL on it. Insane!!!!

Elon Musk’s Son Changes Gender To Distance Identity From Father

Elon Musk gets the father of the year award. And it is Opposite Day. In a startling turn of events, Xavier Alexander Musk has decided to completely change genders in an effort to distance herself/himself from her billionaire father. That is some SH!T to turn into a girl just to give pops the middle finger!

Xavier, who is a twin, recently turned 18, immediately, filed a petition to change his name to Vivian Jenna Wilson, which means that he is a she now.

The superior court of Los Angeles has the documents, but only released them recently to allow for Vivian to make the revelation herself. The revelation did emerge prior to Father’s Day, so I am assuming that there were no hammers or power drills being doled out at Elon musks home. He probably didn’t even BBQ.

Vivian specifically stated that she did not want to be associated with her biological father and that is that. Apparently Elon musk has had some seriously transphobic vibes around him and his son wanted no part of it.

“Gender Identity and the fact that I no longer live with or wish to be related to my biological father in any way, shape or form,” Viv said.

Apparently, Elon apologize for these things, but continued on to an extent where the son continually wants no part of him. So, that’s that! You know you are a real POS when your kid says, “I don’t want your money, power or anything from you, B!!!”

H.E.R. Sues Record Label To Get Out Of Contract

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

H.E.R. filed a lawsuit against MBK Entertainment, asking a court to void her contract with the label.

According to multiple reports, H.E.R. sued MBK in Los Angeles on Thursday (June 16). She accuses the label of violating California Labor Code section 2855 a.k.a. the Seven-Year Rule.

The code “prohibits the enforcement beyond seven years of a contract (such as the Agreement) to render services of a special, unique, extraordinary or intellectual character.”

H.E.R., whose real name is Gabriella Sarmiento Wilson, signed with MBK in 2011. The label’s owner Jeff Robinson became her manager.

The Grammy-winning artist notes her contract forces her to work for MBK well beyond seven years. She argues the deal should’ve ended in 2019.

“Since May 19, 2011, MBK has exclusively owned her services as a recording artist and has exclusively owned the right to exploit her name and likeness for her recordings under the Agreement,” the lawsuit reads. “Wilson has not been free to provide her recording services except as permitted or dictated by MBK.”

H.E.R. claims her manager fired the law firm that originally represented her in negotiations. Robinson allegedly recruited his own lawyers to handle the singer’s subsequent deals.

Robinson’s attorneys didn’t have a written fee agreement or a conflict waiver with H.E.R. They allegedly provided their services “as a favor” to Robinson.

H.E.R. signed her deal with MBK when she was 14 years old. She wants the court to rule the contract is “unenforceable.” She’s also seeking restitution and court costs from the label.

Drake Poised To Earn No. 1 Album Based On ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ Sales Projections

Drake appears to be on the verge of securing another No. 1 album.

According to HITS Daily Double, sales projections for Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind album indicate it will debut atop the Billboard 200 chart. HITS projects the LP sold 210,000 to 230,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.

The projections put Drake’s Honestly, Nevermind way ahead of other notable Hip Hop stars who dropped albums on Friday (June 17). Logic’s Vinyl Days is reportedly on track for 35,000 to 45,000 units sold while Kevin Gates’ Khaza is in the 30,000 to 40,000 range.

Drake surprised fans with the release of Honestly, Nevermind. He announced the LP just a few hours before it hit digital service providers.

The 14-track project also caught many fans off guard because it’s a dance album. Grammy winner Black Coffee served as one of the LP’s executive producers.

Drake’s latest album has received a mixed response, especially compared to his past work. He downplayed criticism of Honestly, Nevermind in a brief clip that surfaced on social media.

“It’s all good if you don’t get it yet,” he said. “It’s all good. That’s what we do. We wait for you to catch up. We’re here though. We caught up already. On to the next. My goodness.”

If Honestly, Nevermind debuts at No. 1 as expected, it will be Drake’s 11th album to reach the top of the Billboard 200. He most recently achieved the feat with 2021’s Certified Lover Boy.

Today Atlanta rapper Willie Bee has connected with Austin, Texas-based rapper Quin NFN for their new collaborative single. “Mopstick.” The two quickly delivered a music video for the song that has already garnered over 240,000 views in just under a week and has fans going crazy in the comments. 

“My new single Mopstick has Quin NFN out of Texas on it. The last song with Paper Route Jay Pizzle, ATL Jacob produced the beat and it’s been doing really well on Pandora and Spotify” Willie Bee told fans in a statement to the press. “Quin is nice man, he got a hard flow. We got some mutual friends but first off his style caught my attention, he got a mean flow. This song is about the regular inner-city living man. Its a good huslter anthem for anyone that stayed in an apartment, anyone who hustles knows the streets ain’t always gotta be bad if you’re making money. I feel like Quin’s fans are going to merge into my fans, so I like this record. Its a good street anthem.”

Willie Bee’s last EP featured NY representative Jadakiss, who was coming fresh off his Verzuz appearance, as the Lox took on Cam’ron and Dipset in a Hip-Hop battle for the ages. 

Known for his work in the streets Willie Bee did some time in prison but he’s back showing that It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish as he’s found music as a way to fill his idle time and stay focused on something positive. 

“I’m a street rapper, I’ve been to prison, I’ve been in and out. You know I”m trying to make sure I stay out and this gives me something new to do with my idle time. I’ve already done all the hard work learning how to rap, so I might as well do the easy part and actually tell my story. So I’m just trying to show the youth that you can be successful, even though you had a couple of marks on your name. Don’t give up man, everything is achievable. If there’s anything that I can bring to the game its that I’m a model example of success on a concrete road. Don’t let your environment deter you from where you really wanna go.”

While Willie Bee may be a name unfamiliar to some in the music industry, his family has a long history of playing their role in some major acts along the way. One such role was that of his grandfather, a backup guitar player for Jimi Hendrix. While his cousin signed the recently slain Archie Eversole who did the famous song “We Ready.”

“I’m from Atlanta, my grandad was a backup guitar player for Jimi Hendrix and my cousin owned Fat Boy Records and put out Archie Eversole with the “We Ready” song, so I always had the music in my family and in my life.”

Aside from his family’s background in music, when asked why and how he got into rapping, Willie Bee explained that he grew up around a host of rappers from T.I.’s crew as he grew up on the Westside of Atlanta in Bankhead. Some friends encouraged him to take it further and really tell his story and the rest is history. 

“I was bored, and with everything that I’ve done in the streets, I was just ready to put it down on paper for the city. I’m from the Westside in Bankhead. I got a lot of friends that are in T.I.’s crew. I let Peewee Longway shoot his video in one of my establishments. I’ve stayed all over but I’ve done all the work that it takes to be a rapper learning how to rap, now it was time for me to just do it and make music,” WIllie Bee explained.  “I’m just what they call a certified street n#### bro. Anyone from Atlanta gonna vouch for me, I don’t care who they are from the biggest to the smallest, so that’s me man. That’s me just a boss that made it man.”

Rob Kardashian Reaches Settlement With Blac Chyna, Avoids Trial

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

Rob Kardashian settled a revenge p### lawsuit filed against him by his ex Blac Chyna.

According to multiple reports, the former couple reached an agreement before jury selection began on Monday (June 20). Prospective jurors were dismissed, dodging a trial that was expected to take place over a few days.

The last-minute settlement put an end to a lengthy legal battle. Blac Chyna originally sued Rob Kardashian in 2017, accusing him of posting naked photos of her on Instagram.

Terms of Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna’s settlement weren’t revealed. The two sides struck a deal after a judge refused to enforce an alleged settlement proposed via email.

Last week, Rob Kardashian claimed his ex agreed to drop the revenge p### lawsuit if he took care of a separate civil case against them.

“The deal was, ‘If you can somehow do it, if you can somehow make the [other] case go away, we’ll dismiss this revenge p### case,” the Kardashian family’s lawyer Todd Eagan explained. “And we detrimentally relied on that. We took a lot of action, a lot of energy to make it happen. I have the executed dismissal of the [other] case.”

Blac Chyna’s lawyer Lynne Ciani denied accepting those terms. Ciani said her client previously pitched a monetary settlement, which Rob Kardashian rejected.

The mayor of New Orleans must be a fan of her city’s native son Master P because she is definitely “Bout It, Bout It!”

Mayor LaToya Cantrell proved that one evening this weekend, Saturday, June 18th, when she broke up a fight at a Rob49 rap concert at The Fillmore NOLA.

The altercation popped off in the women’s powder room and cellphones captured the conflict, saturating the internet with clips of Cantrell playing mediator, talking to a woman outside of one of the restroom stalls.

At one point, the individual is banging on the door of one of the stalls and puts her hand in the mayor’s face. The woman even shoved Mayor LaToya Cantrell, but she responded back, “don’t touch me.”

Someone in the background said, “She don’t even know who that is.”

Another says, “She don’t know who you are.”

The woman says, “I don’t give a f### who you is.”

When talking about the incident on the stage, Mayor LaToya Cantrell said, “I wasn’t fighting in the bathroom. I was breaking up something. Showing love!”

https://twitter.com/jdcarrere/status/1538401499511914496?s=20&t=QpeIF85HZfwgLMaUd-ogjg

In a statement regarding the fight, WAFB reports, Cantrell’s director of communications, Gregory Joseph said, “Upon witnessing an altercation, the Mayor acted in a manner which she always implores our residents: if you see something, do something.”

The rapper Rob49, who hosted a celebrity basketball game on Sat., June 18th before a concert,  saluted the mayor and called her the “Best mayor” the city has ever had.

He said, “I wanna give Teedy a special award for being the best mayor that ever came to New Orleans.”

He gave her a plaque for her other work, but the incident showed exactly why she is so dope. #boutitboutit

Cowboy Apparently Blasts Nipsey Hussle’s Homie!

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Cowboy.

Salute salute to the homey Cowboy. When Nipsey Hussle was first murdered, I thought Cowboy was something else (shady) but I do actually think he is a stand up dude. Cowboy recently took the stand in the murder case against Nipsey Hussle, and a lot of people are saying that he’s some kind of a snitch. Taking a stand does not necessarily make you a snitch I am nobody’s thug, dog or criminal, but snitching is the act of telling on someone else to save your own skin. So, for example, a law abiding Citizen that tells on a criminal, is not a snitch.

Anyway, Cowboy basically said that Nipsey Hussle did not call Eric Holder a rat. Or a snitch. And therefore causing the conflict that resulted in Nipsey‘s death. They are victim blaming Nip in death. What this does is, basically removes the nature of the murder. It says that Eric Holder thought about killing Nipsey and did not do it in a sudden impulsive act of murderous aggression. The difference is roughly 11 years to life in jail. We basically need homeboy to spend the rest of his days in prison or waiting for the death penalty. He took Nip from us.

Anyway, the backstory of this all is that there’s another guy Rimpal and he is a part of the All Money In Crew but he has been ostracized apparently, because he is now seen on tape running when Nipsey was shot. Honestly, I never heard of this guy before today, and I have not seen the tape. Cowboy took the time to talk about somebody that people say is Rimpal, but he didn’t say names. Cowboy basically saw the Nipsey tape for the first time in court and went berserk! And he also seemed to address the people that regard him as some kind of a snitch for just taking the stand. Weird.

A$AP Rocky Explains How He Ended Up Wearing A Quilt To Met Fashion Gala

A$AP Rocky begged one of his go-to designers to make him an outfit for the 2021 Met Gala from a thrifted quilt.

The rapper made a splash last September when he stepped out at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City alongside his girlfriend Rihanna wearing a giant handmade quilt.
In a new interview for Dazed, A$AP Rocky revealed that he knew he wanted to wear the item to the annual fashion bash after spotting it in Eli Russell Linnetz’s studio.

“I went to Eli’s spot – Eli Russell Linnetz – he owns the label ERL – and when I walked in there was this quilt just sitting on the couch. I was like, ‘Can I have that quilt?’ And he was like, ‘Well, I actually just thrifted it.’ He had picked out a few looks for me, but I was on his a*s about that quilt,” the star recalled. “And so, he stitched it together and made it a custom piece. That’s how I decided to wear a quilt to the Met Gala.”

And while A$AP Rocky, real name Rakim Mayers, and Rihanna ended up coordinating on the red carpet, he insisted they didn’t plan out their outfits.

“I didn’t know what she was wearing, she didn’t know what I was wearing,” the 33-year-old asserted.

In describing himself, Luke states, “Honestly, I’m just a kid from Hawaii who’s chasing his dream and looking to make a difference in this crazy world.”

Growing up in Hawaii, Luke was constantly immersed in the arts, including joining the school theater, the band, chorus programs, and even playing in his own punk band around town. And while he had his bouts of mental health issues, from clinical depression to learning disabilities, music would be his saving grace.

Fast forward to today, Luke Revyn unveils his newest single and visual for “White Lies.” AllHipHop spoke with Luke Reyvn about the new song and how it all came together.

AllHipHop: You’re from Hawaii, how does that play into your life and career?

Luke Revyn: Growing up on the small Hawaiian island of Kauai has shaped me as a person in so many ways, which have naturally played huge parts in my life and career. I think the biggest thing for me is coming from a small town, I have this unrelenting need to prove to the world that I have something to offer.

AllHipHop: Biggest influences?

Luke Revyn: Classic rock bands such as Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, and Motley Crue. However I also really love early 2000’s hard rock like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Papa Roach.

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize this music thing was for real?

Luke Revyn: When I decided to drop outta college, it’s been nothing but real to me since then.

AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?

Luke Revyn: I’m not religious, but somehow I stumbled upon the Bible verse Luke 12:24 where the Raven was talked about which gave me my original idea of “Luke Raven.” Then I combined that with the first 3 letters of my last name which is Reynolds, leaving me with Luke Reyvn.

AllHipHop: “White Lies” out now, I know you chose Lil XXEL after an “open verse challenge” on your TikTok. What was it about his submission?

Luke Revyn: Honestly, I just really loved how Xxel took into consideration the lyrics that I had written. Rather than doing his own thing, he really added to the story behind the song with his own experiences. On top of that, he’s an extremely talented artist.

AllHipHop: How did the collaborative process happen after that?

Luke Revyn: We just connected through social media and started to discuss the possibilities of doing a collaboration. After throwing some ideas back and forth, we decided we both loved the original takes. He sent me his verse which we got a super quick turn around on, then immediately shot the music video.

AllHipHop: What do you want fans to take from the record?

Luke Revyn: I hope the listeners can have as much fun listening to the song as we did making it!

AllHipHop: What is it you want fans to get from your story?

Luke Revyn: Something that’s really helped me in all aspects of my life was realizing that if I turned what I thought my biggest weaknesses were into my greatest strengths, then there was nothing that could stop me in whatever it is I wanna do.

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

Luke Revyn: Caffeine, water, and good company!

AllHipHop: What can we expect from your forthcoming debut album?

Luke Revyn: My debut album is going to not only reflect my growth as an artist, but also a person. As well a variety of Luke Reyvn signature sounds displaying my genre bending versatility.

AllHipHop: Goals yourself as an artist at this point of your career?

Luke Revyn: My biggest goals as of right now are to release my debut album, get on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, and keep growing my amazing community of supporters, friends, and family!

Captioning a picture of the rapper with their kids, Kim, who is now dating comedian Pete Davidson, wrote: “Thank you for being the best dad to our babies and loving them the way you do! Happy Father’s Day Ye.”

The pair seemed to be getting a long much better. They were spotted together on Friday at a gym in Thousand Oaks, California, where North West was playing in a basketball league.

Kim also honored her late father, Robert Kardashian. She wrote: “The kids asked me how I would celebrate with you today if you’re all the way up in heaven. They gave me the cutest suggestions. I miss you and love with all my soul.”

She posted a picture of herself with Robert, who died in 2003 at the age of 59.

Kim also acknowledged Caitlyn Jenner, who was her stepfather when the former athlete was married to her mother Kris Jenner between 1991 and 2015.

“Thank you for raising us and being the best stepdad,” she posted.

U.K. Top Prosecutor Says Drill Music Videos Can Be Used As Evidence Of “Modus Operandi Of An Attack”

The U.K.’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), have revealed how they use drill music videos and artists’ social media posting to help solve gang-related murders. 

According to the head of the CPS, Director of Public Prosecutions Max Hill QC, while drill music is “not a crime,” music videos can be considered “admissible evidence for a jury to consider” if it sheds light on the “modus operandi of an attack.” 

“Drill Music Is Not A Crime”

Hill continued, “Social media, mobile phone and drill music have been a massive recent change in crime over the last few years. The footprint a gang can leave now is massive, whether on social media or in drill music videos. Drill music is not a crime, it is meant to shock, so we cannot take it literally.” 

 The CPS claims videos will be used in cases where the suspects deny knowing each other despite appearing together in visuals for their music. 

“However, we can use videos to show defendants – who say they do not know each other because there is no CCTV of them together and phones have been thrown away – actually do know each other because they appeared together in drill music videos,” Hill added.

The U.K. is increasingly citing music from the genre in prosecutions. According to a 2021 study, the BBC examined nearly 70 trials where rap and drill music was used in evidence. The findings revealed most cases were in the preceding two years, often involving rappers, with many featuring allegations of murder. The overwhelming majority of defendants in those cases were young black men and boys. 

The move has caused “serious concerns” for senior academic and criminologist Dr. Mohammed Rahman. He claims specific descriptions “of violence or otherwise, is open to interpretation,” due to the “creativity behind drill.” 

He explained to iNews: “Drill music has been around for 10 years. Have they been working on it since it emerged? What credentials do they have? How are they made aware of what the lyrics represent? How do they define that? It has more consequences than we can imagine.” 

Max Hill made his remarks during a briefing at the CPS Serious Violence, Organised Crime and Exploitation Unit (SVOCE). The unit was established last year, focusing on gang-related violence and County Lines drugs gangs. The term is used to describe criminals who exploit children to deliver drugs into rural areas around the U.K.
