Rashida Nicole Calls Nikki Mudarris “A Racist” In Love Drama Over LiAngelo Ball

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

LiAngelo Ball is at the center of a messy love triangle after ex-girlfriend Nikki Mudarris publicly accused him of abandoning their family for another woman, Rashida Nicole.

The reality star went on Instagram to air her grievances, claiming Ball walked out on her and their two children, LaNiyah Nicole and LaVelo Anthony, to be with Nicole—who Mudarris alleges is now pregnant with his child.

Nicole wasted no time responding, hitting back at Mudarris in a fiery social media post where she called out what she described as victim-playing and hypocrisy.

“I wasn’t even going to address this but I’m tired of people playing victim on the internet,” Nicole said. “One, people move on, things change, yes it may not be updated or addressed to the internet because it’s not for y’all. People have private lives, we have real lives out here, you don’t know what’s going on.”

Mudarris, known for her time on “Love & Hip-Hop,” claimed in a series of social media posts that she and Ball were just recently planning family photos before he allegedly blindsided her and left without warning.

Her plea for prayers and healing quickly gained traction online. Nicole, however, dismissed the notion that Ball walked out on his responsibilities, claiming that Mudarris’s portrayal of events was misleading.

“So everybody coming for me and trying to shame me and woman shame me, I’m so sick of that narrative,” Nicole continued. “Like, y’all so quick to blame the woman, y’all don’t know what’s going on. People love to play victim for the internet. Half the time that lady don’t even have her kids, let’s be clear. There is no abandonment over here.”

Nicole’s response escalated further when she accused Mudarris and her family of harboring racist tendencies.

“The lady and her family are racist—I don’t care what anybody says—she always got the N-word in her mouth. You are not Black at all.”

The public fallout has turned social media into a battleground, with people weighing in on both sides. While some sympathize with Mudarris and her claims of betrayal, others argue that breakups aren’t always as simple as they seem.

As for LiAngelo Ball, he has kept quiet on the situation, letting the drama unfold without offering his side of the story aside from a selfie with Rashida Nicole.

Full Force Erased from Lisa Lisa’s Lifetime Movie—Why?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Lisa Lisa’s Movie Tells a Powerful Story—But Leaves Out a Key Piece

Ladies and gentlemen, once upon a time, there was a group. A powerhouse collective that didn’t just perform but wrote, produced, and shaped the sound of an era. That group was Full Force. A squad of brothers who left their fingerprints all over R&B, Hip-Hop, and even pop music in the ‘80s and ‘90s. If you do your Googles, you’ll quickly see they were an actual force to be reckoned with.

Fast forward to last week, and The Lisa Lisa Story premiered on Lifetime. Now, let’s be real—Lifetime isn’t exactly known for its groundbreaking cinematic masterpieces, but they promoted this one heavily. Angie Martinez played a key role in getting it greenlit, and Lisa Lisa herself even made an appearance as a mother figure. The movie? Not bad at all. It was a good movie. It told the inspiring story of a young Puerto Rican girl who battled obstacles and broke through to claim her spot in music history.

But hold up—something was missing. And I’m not talking about minor details. I’m talking about Full Force.

Now, if you know your history, you know Full Force wasn’t just some footnote in Lisa Lisa’s career. They were a cornerstone of her success. Let’s run it down:

  • They discovered Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam.
  • They produced most of their biggest hits.
  • They wrote songs that shaped her legacy.
  • And, they performed background vocals too!

And yet, in this entire movie, there wasn’t a single mention of them. No references. No acknowledgments. Nothing. It’s like they were wiped off the map. I am not about to list everything they did, but this is massive!

Full Force Breaks Down Their Legendary Careers From UTFO and Nicki Minaj To Selena And “House Party”

Now, let’s be fair—movies don’t always stick to the truth. Sometimes, the goal isn’t accuracy but simply getting the film made. And in doing so, filmmakers might sideline or even erase certain figures. They might even condense them into a single person, which could have happened. But why them? These guys helped launch Lisa Lisa’s career!

We don’t know the full behind-the-scenes politics either. Was it creative license? A personal falling out? Business disputes? Who knows. What we do know is that Full Force played an integral role in Lisa Lisa’s rise. Their absence from this film feels like erasure of history. Am I off base here?

Now, we’ve never interviewed Lisa Lisa (yet), but we have talked to Full Force. Those brothers are legends. They were in House Party, worked with James Brown, and crafted hits for countless artists. If you want to hear their side of the story, check out our interview with them.

In the meantime, watch The Lisa Lisa Story and witness the journey of a groundbreaking Latina who seamlessly blended Hip-Hop, freestyle, R&B, and pop. But just remember—there’s a lot more to the story than what made it to the screen.

T.I. Arrest Warrant Scandal Sparks Major Legal Overhaul In Maryland

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

A Maryland woman’s bogus criminal complaint led to an arrest warrant for rapper T.I., and now state lawmakers are pushing to change the legal system that allowed it to happen.

House Bill 21, currently under review by Maryland’s House Judiciary Committee, aims to restrict the power of District Court commissioners, who can issue arrest warrants based solely on civilian complaints—without input from judges, attorneys, or prosecutors.

Baltimore City State’s Attorney Ivan Bates is one of the bill’s biggest advocates.

He cited cases where wrongful arrests have caused innocent people to lose their jobs and reputations.

“Too often we see individuals that have arrest warrants put out on them for whatever reason, then they’re detained, they’re locked up, and they’re arrested,” Bates said in testimony on Jan. 28, according to Baltimore’s ABC2. “For whatever reason, they’ve lost jobs, they’ve lost time from their community.”

A prime example, Bates argued, was the case involving T.I., who became the target of an arrest warrant after Baltimore resident Crystal Gorham told a court commissioner he had assaulted her.

Gorham alleged that on June 4, 2024, “I was hit and beat up, punched, stalked and harassed” and that “Clifford pointed a gun at me.” She also accused his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, of being involved.

Despite no apparent evidence linking the Hip-Hop star to the alleged crime, the commissioner approved the charges, which included assault and handgun violations, setting an arrest warrant in motion.

The Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s Office later reviewed T.I.’s travel records and determined he was nowhere near the city when the alleged incident occurred.

Prosecutors promptly filed a motion to recall the warrant and dismissed the case entirely.

The bill has been labeled the “T.I. bill,” because of the need to prevent similar abuses of the system.

“Rapper T.I. had an arrest warrant placed on him by a young lady who lived in Baltimore City, had never met him. And there was an arrest warrant for him,” he testified. “Fortunately for him, when he was stopped at the airport, he had lawyers who reached out to our office, and we were able to get that quashed. However, what about the average citizen?”

If House Bill 21 passes, commissioners would only be allowed to approve warrants requested by law enforcement or prosecutors, effectively ending the practice of civilians initiating arrest warrants on their own.

Additionally, the legislation would significantly increase penalties for knowingly filing false criminal complaints, raising the maximum jail time from six months to three years.

Kanye West Continues To Target Jews—Gets Massive Amount Of New Followers

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Ye unleashed a torrent of inflammatory posts on X, which may be sparking outrage – but the rap star’s followers just keep on growing.

Yesterday (February 8), Ye had about 32.9 million followers. Today, that number has swelled to over 33 million – a net gain of over 100,000.

The rapper has been firing off incendiary messages about Jewish people for the last 72 hours, in addition to touching on fashion and social issues.

The rapper has proclaimed his love for Adolf Hitler, boasted about selling out his White Lives Matter t-shirt, called Jewish women “b######,”

His posts ranged from denouncing the Me Too movement to making incendiary claims about abuse. Ye also criticized modern fashion standards and his children’s schooling.

“When I do fashion shows I don’t use fat people,” he stated. “I don’t like how they look in clothes and they look even worse out of clothes.” He followed up with a complaint about education, declaring, “My kids school sucks.”

While the posts ignited backlash, his followers have increased by over 100,000 followers in the last 24 hours.

And unsurprisingly, Ye is still spewing hate and firing off controversial opinions as of this morning (February 9).

“JEWS WERE BETTER AS SLAVES YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR JEWS IN THEIR PLACE AND MAKE THEM INTO YOUR SLAVES,” he tweeted this morning.

In addition to the blowback from people reading Ye’s tweets, the rapper claimed someone was threatening his children for mentioning their name.

While he didn’t reveal the person, the unidentified individual threatened to harm Ye’s daughter, North West.

Megan Fox’s Ex Vows To Keep MGK’s Name Out Of His Mouth

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Brian Austin Green isn’t one to stir the pot publicly, but this time, frustration got the best of him.

After taking a swipe at Machine Gun Kelly over his recent remarks about Megan Fox, the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star is stepping back, vowing to stay silent moving forward.

Green, 50, briefly lashed out at MGK on social media, calling for the rapper to “be honest” amid his highly publicized split from Fox.

However, during an appearance at a Los Angeles book launch, he admitted that he’s had a change of heart.

“I spoke my mind,” Green told People, referencing the now-deleted Instagram Stories post. “But then I’ve since come to terms with the fact that I won’t do that anymore. I’m going to shut up and just sit back.”

His outburst came after MGK pushed back against speculation surrounding his tumultuous relationship with Fox.

The two, who had been engaged in an on-and-off romance, officially ended things late last year, shortly after revealing they were expecting a child together.

Green—who was married to Megan Fox for over a decade and shares three children with her—didn’t hold back when addressing MGK’s reaction to public scrutiny.

“Bro. Just be honest for once in your life,” he wrote in the fiery post. “Stop caring so much about how you’re perceived that you will try and drag other people.”

Looking back, Green admitted the public callout wasn’t typical of him, but he felt compelled to respond.

“That’s not something that I normally do, but it just really at the time, really got under my skin to read about his sort of take on it,” he explained.

While Green doesn’t expect to hear from MGK anytime soon, the actor has made one thing clear—he’s done airing grievances online.

As for the ongoing drama between Fox and MGK, the dust has yet to fully settle, but Green is officially taking a seat in the audience.

Arrested Development Won First Best New Artist Grammy—And They’re Still At It

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Exclusives

Arrested Development has returned with a new single called “All I See is Melanin,” the Grammy Award-winning group’s first release of 2025.

The track’s arrival is perfectly timed with Black History Month, something Speech tells AllHipHop was important to him. The Ben Marc-produced cut also boasts the first rap verse from Arrested Development dancer Fareedah.

“Love knows no boundaries, and Arrested Development celebrates the diverse tapestry of the human race,” Speech tell us. “The group found inspiration to write the song during our recent tour with The Roots in great cities like Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, DC. It was a beautiful thing to see a larger Black audience attending our shows compared to what we’ve typically experienced over the last couple of decades; women with braids, locks and cowrie shells, men with dashikis.

“While we often perform at large festivals with diverse audiences, the presence of so many Black attendees this time was profoundly moving. My lyrics often speak directly to the experiences of Black individuals, and it was truly special to look out into the crowd and see them connecting with and embracing the words on a deeper level.”

Speech also tied the song to the presidential election, noting these are particularly challenging times for the Black community.

“Given the recent election outcomes and the unfortunate dismantling of numerous programs that support the Black community,” he adds, “it became evident that a song honoring our beauty, resilience and rich culture was needed.”

Formed in the early ’90s, Arrested Development made a lasting impact on Hip-Hop by bringing a fresh, Afrocentric and socially conscious approach to a genre at a time when gangsta rap was dominating the landscape. Originally based in Atlanta, the group offered an alternative that celebrated Black culture, spirituality and positivity.

Their debut album, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life Of… (1992), broke new ground with its fusion of Hip-Hop, soul and folk influences, producing hits like “Tennessee,” “People Everyday” and “Mr. Wendal.”

Arrested Development’s success was groundbreaking, earning them two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist—making them the first Hip-Hop act to win in that category. Their unique sound and message helped pave the way for socially conscious rappers and groups that followed, influencing artists like The Roots, Common, A Tribe Called Quest and Mos Def.

The group also helped redefine what Hip-Hop could be, proving that the genre wasn’t limited to aggressive, street-oriented narratives but could also serve as a platform for empowerment and cultural pride. Their emphasis on live instrumentation and soulful melodies expanded the genre’s sonic possibilities, bridging the gap between rap and other Black musical traditions.

“All I See is Melanin” follows the release of 2024’s Bullets in the Chamber, which boasts appearances by Ras Kass, Sol Messiah and the late Twan Mack. Listen to the track above and stream it here along with a remix by Configa, an instrumental and a cappella version.

Juvenile Shares His Thoughts On Super Bowl LIX Happening In New Orleans

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Juvenile isn’t just excited about football returning to his city for Super Bowl LIX.

He sees the February 2025 showdown at Caesars Superdome as something much bigger—a chance for New Orleans to showcase its resilience, culture, and economic recovery nearly two decades after Hurricane Katrina reshaped the city’s landscape.

With the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles set for a high-stakes rematch of Super Bowl LVII, anticipation for the big game is already building.

Yet for Juvenile, a New Orleans native and Hip-Hop legend, the real victory goes beyond the field.

“We feel like we got a chance, man,” he told Apple Music. “And now what I like about this Super Bowl is the fact that the local vendors and the local businesses are getting a lot of business and getting opportunities that they didn’t have in the Super Bowls in the past.”

The impact isn’t small—forecasters predict the Super Bowl will inject more than $500 million into the local economy, with hospitality, tourism, and small businesses reaping the benefits.

An estimated 200,000 visitors will flood the city during Super Bowl weekend, doubling the number of tourists and reinforcing New Orleans’ status as a premier event destination.

These figures matter for a city still fighting to regain its pre-Katrina population.

New Orleans had about 484,674 residents in 2000, but after the storm in 2005, that number dropped dramatically to 230,172.

While it has recovered in the years since, the 2020 Census shows the city is still approximately 100,000 people short of where it once was.

“I would say we 60% back,” Juvenile said. “We still have yet to have a lot of… A lot of people got away from New Orleans and realized, ‘I like life out here.’ And didn’t want to come back. And then a lot of people just wasn’t financially able to come back. They lost their homes, and wherever they was at was where they was at.”

Beyond benefiting the economy, the influx of visitors for Super Bowl LIX will support over 5,000 full- and part-time jobs.

Infrastructure improvements tied to the event will also bring long-term advantages, helping push New Orleans further along in its recovery.

“What’s going on now right here is we just trying to keep on rebuilding that culture that we once had, ’cause we don’t have a lot of people here. So it’s kind of hard, but we sticking to it.”

The game, airing on FOX and streaming on Tubi, will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT on Feb. 9, 2025.

Dame Dash Shares Text Conversation With Irv Gotti Warning Him About Danger Of Diabetes

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Dame Dash has opened up about a text exchange he had with Irv Gotti regarding his concern for the late Murder Inc. music mogul’s health and Diabetes diagnosis.

On Friday (February 7), Dame Dash appeared in a vulnerable interview on his America Nu network, where he opened up about grappling with the loss of his longtime music industry peer Irv Gotti. Dash admitted that Gotti’s death has blindsided him considering he’s still struggling to process DJ Clark Kent’s death.

“I’m still not over the shock,” Dash admitted. “A lot of times I wake up and I’m like, I can’t believe Clark [DJ Clark Kent] is dead. It’s crazy to me. And then now with Irv [Irv Gotti], it’s like, It takes me a while to really process it,” Dash said.

Turning his attention to Gotti’s passing, Dash shared that it was both a shock and something he had somewhat braced himself for due to Gotti’s health struggles.

“I’m not surprised based on what I knew was going on with his health and the way he was approaching it, but it’s still shocking,” he said.

As Dash continued he spoke fondly of their decades-long relationship, emphasizing the brotherly bond they shared despite disagreements. “Regardless of what our relationship was in that very moment, you know, we were brothers,” he said. “We’ve known each other almost 30 years. Irv was one of the people I enjoyed talking to because his perspective was very animated. He was always fun to talk to.”

Like Russell Simmons, Dash also claimed he tried to discuss health management with Gotti, despite the fact that their relationship had been strained in recent years.

“When I found out the struggles, I texted him and said, ‘Irv, regardless of what, we’re brothers, and I don’t want to see you die,” he said of their conversation. “Let me know how I can help you,’ He sent back, ‘Yo, I’m getting better, Dame.'”

Dash revealed that he wished he had been more present in Gotti’s life to provide the kind of tough love he believed could have made a difference.

“I would have made it a lifestyle for him,” he said. “I would have made it uncool to neglect your health.”

Dash added a powerful statement about health and mortality, saying “Food is not that good to where you should lose your life over it. No plate is that good that you should have to die over it just to eat it again. Nobody’s life is that bad that a cheeseburger is your escape.”

Days after he suffered another stroke, Gotti was “declared dead” on the morning of February 5 at the age of 54. Gotti’s children has since released a statement in remembrance of their “beloved” father on Instagram.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved father, Irving ‘Irv Gotti’ Lorenzo, on February 5, 2025. Surrounded by family and friends, he departed this world, leaving behind a legacy that will forever resonate in the hearts of those who knew him and the countless lives he touched,” the statement read.

Tommy Richman Accused Of Jacking New Hit

By: illseedCategory: Rumors

Tommy Richman is back in the mix, but this time, it’s not just for his music. Word on the street is that his latest track “Actin Up” might be a little too inspired by an oldie but goodie. Some folks are saying the Virginia native may have borrowed elements from Cadillac Don and J-Money’s “Peanut Butter & Jelly!”

Now, before we get into that, let’s talk about Tommy Richman. The dude blew up last year, making a name for himself in a time when Kendrick Lamar had Hip-Hop on lock. His hit “Million Dollar Baby” was everywhere, and the way he moved had people curious. See, Tommy kept things real ambiguous when it came to his background—until folks realized he was white. No problem there—Hip-Hop embraces talent from all walks of life. But as time went on, he started making some suspect comments, leading some to call him a culture vulture. He never got fully canceled, but let’s just say a few eyebrows were raised.

Tommy Richman “Isn’t A Hip Hop Artist” But Sure Wants Rap Grammy

It seems like Tommy wanted to branch out beyond Hip-Hop. Cool, no one wants to be boxed in. But now, here we are with “Actin Up”, and some heads are saying that he took a little too much from “Peanut Butter & Jelly.” The most notable similarity? That steel drum element is the same vibe Soulja Boy made famous back in the day. Yes, SB is an OG now.

I gave it a listen, and I’m thinking… eh, it might not be that deep. But let’s not jump to conclusions. We gotta do the side-by-side comparison. So check it out below and let me know—did Tommy jack the sample sauce, or is this just a case of the petty internet? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

Kanye West Connected To Over 30 Anti-Semitic Attacks ADL Claims

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kanye West set off a firestorm Wednesday after posting a string of antisemitic messages on X, where he brazenly declared himself a Nazi and defended Adolf Hitler.

The outburst, filled with inflammatory rhetoric and misogynistic boasts, was swiftly denounced by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which called his remarks a “blatant and unequivocal demonstration of hate.”

West, who legally changed his name to Ye, ignited intense backlash by writing, “CALL ME YAYDOLF YITLER,” before escalating his rhetoric with “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B****S” on his X account.

He continued by attempting to reframe discussions around Hitler, portraying the dictator as “so fresh” and refusing to denounce his past antisemitic stances.

The ADL, which has long monitored West’s escalating antisemitic rhetoric, condemned his latest tirade in no uncertain terms.

“Here we go again. Another egregious display of antisemitism, racism and misogyny from \@kanyewest on his X account this morning. Just a few years ago, ADL found that 30 antisemitic incidents nationwide were tied to Kanye’s 2022 antisemitic rants,” the organization said in a statement. “We condemn this dangerous behavior and need to call it what it is: a flagrant and unequivocal display of hate.”

CEO Jonathan Greenblatt echoed this sentiment, describing West’s actions as an intentional and harmful spectacle.

“We know this game all too well. Let’s call \@kanyewest’s hate-filled public rant for what it really is: a sad attempt for attention that uses Jews as a scapegoat,” Greenblatt said. “But unfortunately, it does get attention because Kanye has a far-reaching platform on which to spread his antisemitism and hate. Words matter. And as we’ve seen too many times before, hateful rhetoric can prompt real-world consequences.”

West’s controversy extended beyond antisemitic remarks, as he also made degrading comments about his wife, Bianca Censori.

Following their appearance at the Grammy Awards, where he seemingly directed her to unveil a revealing outfit, West brushed off accusations of manipulation.

“I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE,” he wrote, dismissing feminist critiques and asserting that while he doesn’t control her choices, “she definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without my approval.”

The fallout from his latest tirade has reignited debates over the ADL’s response to controversial figures and whether their level of condemnation is consistent.

Some critics pointed to the organization’s handling of Elon Musk, who has also faced allegations of amplifying antisemitic rhetoric on X. In fact, Musk found humor in Kanye’s antics by retweeting the day’s trending topics on X.

While the ADL has criticized Musk for engaging with antisemitic conspiracy theories and backing right-wing extremists, some have argued that the outrage directed at West has been far louder.

Supporters of the ADL maintain that West’s statements are far more blatant and extreme, crossing into outright Nazi sympathies, whereas Musk’s comments—while problematic—have been more veiled and open to interpretation.

However, skeptics argue the discrepancy highlights selective outrage, with West facing harsher scrutiny due to his erratic behavior and bombastic delivery.

Snoop Dogg Fights Hate In Super Bowl Ad On Heels Of Kanye West’s Antisemitic Rants

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady are taking a stand against hate and antisemitism with a message set to air during Super Bowl LIX—and the message will be right on time.

The 30-second spot, titled “No Reason to Hate,” is backed by the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism (FCAS) and challenges viewers to reconsider the senseless reasons behind discrimination of all kinds.

“I’m honored to team up with the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism ahead of the Super Bowl for the No Reason to Hate campaign,” Snoop Dogg said in a statement. “It doesn’t matter what your background is, what you look like or where you come from, hate is never the answer. It’s time we all start seeing it for what it is and together, take a stand against hate.”

The timing of the ad is noteworthy, arriving just days after Kanye West—who now goes by Ye—launched yet another antisemitic tirade on X, formerly known as Twitter.

On February 7, Ye posted a series of inflammatory messages, including “I love Hitler” and “I’m a Nazi,” while also retracting his past apology for previous antisemitic comments.

His posts flooded the platform for several hours, drawing swift condemnation from figures like Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, who called Ye’s remarks a “blatant and unequivocal demonstration of hate.”

The commercial, which will air during one of the most-watched television broadcasts of the year, presents Snoop and Brady shouting out absurd justifications people use to justify hate—ranging from someone “looking different” to “people I know hate you.”

The message is clear: those reasons are just as ridiculous as they sound.

This marks the second consecutive Super Bowl ad from FCAS, an organization founded by New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

Kanye’s inflammatory posts have reignited discussions about his presence on social media, with renewed calls for his accounts to be suspended.

Meanwhile, FCAS’ decision to feature Snoop Dogg and Brady in their high-profile campaign has not been without controversy.

Both celebrities have previously faced criticism for their affiliations with former President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.

Kanye West Uses Wild Slur To Slam Anyone Who Doesn’t Align With Trump

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Kanye West‘s Twitter (X) tirade is expanding well into Saturday night (February 8) and it appears he’s back on the Donald Trump bandwagon—not that he ever hopped off.

Shortly after his all caps diatribe about the #MeToo Movement equating to extortion, his love for Adolf Hitler, Dave Chappelle not being funny and his disdain for Jewish people (again), the now-formulaic, attention-seeking narcissist that many people believe West is switched topics to Trump.

Using a photo of the current president, he wrote, “ANY N#### DONT LIKE TRUMP IS A F#####.”

West didn’t expand on the topic too much, although he did offer, “I HATE THE TERM ‘TRUMP SUPPORTER’ I NEVER HEARD THE TERM “BIDEN SUPPORTER.”

Kanye West and Trump have shared a complex and often controversial relationship over the years. West first expressed public support for Trump in 2016, not long after the presidential election. He visited Trump Tower in December of that year, stating they discussed “multicultural issues.”

In 2018, West’s admiration became more pronounced when he donned a “Make America Great Again” hat and delivered an impassioned speech in the Oval Office, touching on topics from mental health to prison reform. The meeting garnered widespread media attention and highlighted West’s unconventional approach to politics.

However, their relationship has been fraught with controversy. In late 2022, West faced significant backlash after making antisemitic remarks, including expressing admiration for Hitler and declaring himself a Nazi. Those statements led to widespread condemnation and the loss of several business partnerships.

Despite these controversies, Trump has maintained a degree of support for West, describing him as having “a good heart” but acknowledging his complexity.

As part of West’s latest online antics, West urged Trump to pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs, who was incarcerated on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combined with West’s continued erratic behavior, his request underscores the unpredictable and often contentious nature of his association with Trump.

West’s most recent Twitter (X) explosion began earlier this week, with him professing his love for Adolf Hitler and claiming he controls his wife. He then turned his attention toward #MeToo Movement and Jewish people.

He began by referencing the infamous tweet that started it all in 2022.

As of publication time, West has been resting his Twitter fingers for an hour. His last tweet was, “WHY DO BROKE N##### TELL ME WHAT TO DO BUT I NEVER TELL THEM N##### WHAT TO DO IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT BEING BROKE THAT MAKES THEM FEEL POWERFUL.”

Donald Trump Vibes: Is The Super Bowl Like Kendrick Vs. Drake?

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Opinion

This Super Bowl ain’t just a game—it’s a cultural moment! I think it is a battle of ideologies. You got the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning dynasty, looking to cement themselves as one of the greatest teams ever. Then there are the Philadelphia Eagles on the hunt with Jalen Hurts leading the charge.

But let’s not pretend the game itself is the only storyline.

Trump pulling up to the Super Bowl? That’s never happened before with a sitting president. And it’s no coincidence he’s backing the Chiefs, especially when you consider the history with the Eagles. Philly gave him the cold shoulder back in 2017, refusing to visit the White House after their Super Bowl win. You know Trump holds grudges. And the Chiefs? Well, Mahomes might not be shouting MAGA from the rooftops, but his wife Brittany supports that movement. I abhor those red hats!

Jalen Hurts is the ultimate counterpoint to all of that. A strong Black man with a powerful Black woman by his side, an all-Black female management team, and a quiet, composed leadership style that represents something deeper to his supporters. Hurts isn’t just playing for Philly—he’s playing for culture! The representation is something that feels bigger than the game itself. And don’t think people aren’t noticing the subtle narratives being pushed. Mahomes is the polished, light-skinned, half-Black, half-white quarterback, versus Hurts, whose entire presence exudes unapologetic Black excellence. This is real. I wish it was just football, but it’s not.

And let’s talk about this Josh Allen factor—there is no golden boy in this Super Bowl. (Shout out to Lamar Jackson!) They “gave” him the MVP Honors at the NFL Honors show. That was a bandaid over the obvious. There’s no Brady, no Manning, no traditional white superstar QB that the league can safely market as “the face of the NFL.” It’s two Black quarterbacks, one of whom (Mahomes) fits the “safe and marketable” mold. And another (Hurts) who represents something that America still struggles to embrace fully. Nike gets it though.

So, yeah—some folks might just see a football game. But to a whole lot of others, this is a cultural referendum. MAGA vs. the resistance. Trump’s America vs. the people who turned down his invitation. The old guard vs. the new wave.

So I ask you—who you wit? Fly Eagles Fly or Chiefs Kingdom? Because, trust me, this ain’t just about football.

While a premiere date for KPOPPED has yet to be revealed, the announcement already signals Apple TV+’s growing focus on unscripted competition television.

The platform dipped into the genre last year with My Kind of Country, a Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves creation that spotlighted the world of country music through performances and judging from icons like Mickey Guyton, Jimmie Allen, and Orville Peck.

Apple TV+ has also explored the vibrancy of Korean music through its August docuseries K-Pop Idols, which chronicled the “trials and triumphs” faced by acts like Blackswan, boy band Cravity, and soloist Jessi as they navigated the competitive South Korean music industry.

Kendrick Lamar’s Advice On Authenticity Doubles As Roadmap To Self-Love & Inner Peace

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: News

Kendrick Lamar’s recent interaction with a young boy has reaffirmed his commitment to individual expression as an artist.

During his recent Apple Music press conference ahead of his Super Bowl LIX halftime show performance, Kendrick offered heartfelt advice to a young boy who asked how to stay authentic while pursuing one’s dreams. The West Coast rapper, who took home five Grammy Awards for his anthem “Not Like Us” which he described as evocative of the type of man he is, emphasized the importance of individuality and self-belief in his response to the youngster.

“It’s about not being like anyone else,” Lamar said in response to the child’s question. “The number one thing people feel in the room, even over love and fear, is authenticity.”

Lamar shared that a recent conversation with a friend in the studio had prompted him to reflect on how genuine energy can inspire those around you.

“When people feel you so intensely, it inspires them, their household, and the person next to them,” he said.

Lamar urged the child to recognize their unique value. “You have to believe in yourself and know that there’s only one you. You’re an amazing individual, a miracle,” he affirmed. “I wake up every day thinking, ‘Wow, this life is crazy.’ Not from a celebrity standpoint—just life itself. And knowing that you are part of this existence, it’s important to carry that authenticity.”

Lamar’s thoughtful response mirrored the same depth he revealed throughout the press conference, during which he reiterated his commitment to keeping the competitive spirit of rap alive.

“My intent from day one was to always keep the nature of it as a sport,” he said. “I love when artists grit their teeth. I still watch battle rap—Smack URL, Murda Mook, Loaded Lux, Tay Roc, and Daylyt. That has always been the core of who I am.”

Master P, Mia X Inducted Into NOLA Walk of Fame Ahead Of Super Bowl LIX On Sunday

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Earlier this week, Master P stood on Canal Street, reflecting on his journey from selling popcorn in the Superdome to becoming an architect of Southern Hip-Hop, as he was officially inducted into the NOLA Walk of Fame.

The ceremony paid tribute to Master P’s legacy, alongside other influential figures who have shaped New Orleans’ cultural, business, and sports scenes.

The event observed the impact of local heroes, including the late Tom Benson, former owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans, and his widow, Gail Benson.

“I was at the Superdome selling popcorn at 15 years old, and y’all know I went from the popcorn man to the Ice Cream Man. And I said, ‘Mr. Benson, I’m going to be a star one day, and I’m going to have a business, and I’m going to make a lot of money.’ And he laughed, he said, ‘Man, I know you could do it.’ And to be able to be here and to put this fleur-de-lis on Canal Street in his honor, and his wife Miss Gail Benson, thank you,” said Master P.

The induction recognized fellow No Limit Soldier Mia X, former Mayor Ernest “Dutch” Morial, the city’s first Black mayor and his son, Marc Morial, a past New Orleans mayor and current president of the National Urban League.

Other honorees included former NFL star Marshall Faulk, Mayor LaToya Cantrell, actor Wendell Pierce and local entrepreneur Al Copeland, founder of Popeyes Chicken.

“Al Copeland always celebrated me when I came into his restaurant. Man, I ate well, and this has been a blessing to be able to honor him,” Master P said.

Following the induction, Master P made another lasting mark in his hometown by donating the camouflage outfit he wore during his “No Limits Reunion Tour” in 2020 to the Hard Rock Cafe New Orleans.

The outfit was officially added to the restaurant’s memorabilia collection.

As the NOLA Walk of Fame expands across a designated 4.5-mile stretch, plans are underway for a museum that will highlight the stories and achievements of its inductees.

Master P hopes the initiative will inspire future generations by educating them on the city’s greats.

Kanye West Switches Focus From Hitler To MeToo Movement: “It’s Extortion”

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: News

Kanye West’s latest Twitter (X) tirade began with professing his love for Adolf Hitler and admitting he controls his wife, then turned toward the MeToo Movement.

The social movement and awareness campaign started gaining traction in 2017 and signaled a shift in attitude toward sexual abuse, harassment and rape culture. But according to Kanye West, who called for Diddy to be released from jail over his alleged sex trafficking charge as part of his rant, it’s all extortion.

“Me too is a woke agenda,” he wrote. “Me too is extortion. If a n#### really taped you then it’s legal not financial. Can’t nobody see that. Puff got me too’d. So did I. Free Puff. Did Puff get me too’d cause of the fighting or because of the money? I never seen a broke n#### get me too’ed.”

Of course, Kanye West wasn’t done there. He then took aim at women who are perceived as overweight, calling them “sex offenders.”

He reasoned, “I see them and I’m sexually offended. Making lingerie for fat b###### is like giving knives to little kids. They gone hurt somebody. If you find yourself in a fat b#### p#### just remember it’s because you’re broke.”

West also applauded Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter (X), for allowing him to get away with the inflammatory posts he’s been making for the better part of two days.

“I gotta give Elon his flowers for allowing my fuckery,” he wrote, “It’s a whole new world! I gotta say Elon’s a real n#### for this.”

Kanye West’s inflammatory tweets comes as he plots the release of his next album, the aptly titled Bully, and just days after he pulled up at the Grammys with his basically naked wife.

The stunt sparked outrage and concern over the woman’s mental health. In several videos of the incident, he can be seen instructing her to remove her coat to expose herself. But there are plenty of people chiming in and saying she’s a willing participant.

Offset Lashes Out At Cardi B In Another Bitter Post & Delete

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Offset and Cardi B’s split is anything but amiable. Since announcing their impending divorce in August 2024, the estranged couple has regularly argued on social media, allowing fans a peek into their toxic relationship.

In a series of since-deleted and somewhat cryptic tweets, the Migos rapper once again accused Cardi B of cheating and suggested at least one of their three children doesn’t belong to him.

“We sharing,” he began. “Blood test. Butch been cheating since 2019. I ain’t tell when u did [rat emoji]. Tommy n Sammy. My new b#### badder.” The kicker? He also claimed, “Had u last week by the way.”

People quickly jumped to conclusions, suggesting Offset was jealous of her new single with Pardison Fontaine, “Toot It Up,” and the attention she was getting as a result. Others just assumed he’s another “bitter baby daddy” or bothered by the photos of Cardi B with Stefon Diggs.

Cardi B, on the other hand, has been expressing how she feels about Offset for months. In September 2024, shortly after announcing she’d filed for divorce, she said in a livestream, “I’m too much woman for you. … And I’ve always been too good for you.”

She continued, hinting at his own infidelity, “Nothing surprises me anymore. You’ve done it all, so I don’t care. Thank you for my kids, though. All three of them, I don’t regret none of them. But I regret you. I don’t regret my kids; you’re a good daddy. You’re all right.”

Cardi B and Offset have had a turbulent relationship filled with public breakups, reconciliations and cheating allegations. They first got together in 2017 and secretly married that same year. However, their relationship was plagued by infidelity rumors, leading Cardi to announce their split in December 2018. Offset made a grand public apology, and the two reconciled shortly after.

Their on-and-off dynamic continued, with Cardi filing for divorce in 2020, only to call it off a month later. In 2023, tensions flared again when Cardi publicly accused Offset of cheating, which he denied. Despite the drama, the couple has continued to co-parent their three children.

Kanye West Responds To Tyler, The Creator “Unfollowing” Him As Expected

By: Kyle EusticeCategory: Editorial

Kanye West, who appears to be the biggest narcissist on the planet next to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, went on another one of his epic Twitter (X) rants on Friday (February 7).

Whether he has an album to promote (Bully) or desperately needs more attention than his Grammy Awards stunt got him doesn’t matter—what we’re witnessing is a sick (yet incredibly arrogant) individual clinging on to a persona that he knows will get clicks.

And, of course, it worked. Kanye became a trending Twitter topic after he claimed he was a Nazi, branded himself “Yaydolf Yitler,” admitted to controlling his wife and proudly proclaimed he loves Adolf Hitler.

Not long after, it was reported Tyler, The Creator unfollowed Kanye, presumably because he’s as fed up with his b####### as we are.

Naturally, Kanye had another eloquent response to that. Underneath a post from Kurrco that read, “Tyler, The Creator has unfollowed Ye fka Kanye West on X/Twitter,” Kanye wrote simply, “GAY,” and left it at that.

Considering Tyler, the Creator’s sexuality has been frequent fodder for netizens, it was an interesting choice of words.

Granted, there was a little humor in that, but it’s a disturbing pattern that’s been part of Kanye West’s character for years now—whether he’s making antisemitic comments, spreading other hateful rhetoric or showing just how much disrespect he has for women.

On Sunday (February 2), West showed up to the 67th Grammy Awards with his current wife Bianca Censori and instructed her to remove her black fur coat as they were posing on the red carpet. We all know what that was about, something he addressed during his latest Twitter tirade.

“I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE,” he wrote. “THIS AIN’T NO WOKE A** FEMINIST S***. SHE’S WITH A BILLIONAIRE, WHY WOULD SHE LISTEN TO ANY OF YOU DUMB*** BROKE B*****.”

He further claimed, “YES I DON’T MAKE HER DO NOTHING SHE DOESN’T WANT TO, BUT SHE DEFINITELY WOULDN’T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT MY APPROVAL.”

In a follow-up post, West lashed out at those who labeled the Grammy appearance a “stunt,” saying, “Anyone who called my wife’s Grammy look a stunt is dumb and laaaame yes youuuu. She been dressing naked for 2 years. Now all of a sudden it’s a stunt.”

West concluded, “IF I LOST EVERYTHING ‘AGAIN’ TONIGHT WAS WORTH IT I CAN DIE AFTER THIS.” You’ve likely seen the rest, like this gem below.

As for Tyler, the Creator, he and Kanye West once shared a creative and personal connection. Tyler has cited Kanye as one of his biggest inspirations, and Kanye has expressed admiration for Tyler’s innovative approach to music and fashion. Their relationship dates back to the early 2010s when Tyler was still part of Odd Future.

The two have collaborated on multiple occasions. Tyler appeared on Kanye’s 2013 Yeezus Tour, and he contributed background vocals to “Freestyle 4” from Kanye’s 2016 album The Life of Pablo.

Kanye also made a brief cameo in Tyler’s “IFHY” music video. Beyond music, they have influenced each other in fashion, with both artists pushing boundaries through their respective brands—Kanye’s Yeezy and Tyler’s Golf Wang. Needless to say, people are jumping ship faster than Censori stripped for the cameras.

Good luck to you “Ye” or whatever you call yourself. Hope it’s worth it.

Ashanti Breaks Silence On Irv Gotti: “I Can’t Believe Things Ended Like This”

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Ashanti has issued a statement to mourn Murder Inc. boss Irv Gotti, who died on Wednesday (February 5) at the age of 54. The veteran singer shared her thoughts on Instagram, expressing her shoc and acknowledging their complicated relationship.

“I can’t believe things ended like this… and it makes me so sad,” she wrote. “We weren’t on the best terms the past few years but as I’ve always said, through our ups and downs, I will forever be grateful for everything that you’ve done for me. We made history and that will remain infinite,” Ashanti said in a heartfelt post.

The statement showed Ashanti’s grace since her personal relationship with Irv Gotti found a place in public discourse.

The two worked closely during Murder Inc.’s height, churning out hit records like “Foolish,” “What’s Love,” “Always on Time” and “Happy.” However, their professional and personal relationship became strained after Ashanti’s romantic involvement with Nelly, which allegedly led Gotti to attempt to derail her career.

The drama escalated in 2022 when Gotti appeared on Drink Champs and detailed his alleged past relationship with Ashanti, stating he was in love with her while still married. His comments sparked backlash, with many criticizing him for speaking about their past publicly. Ashanti later responded indirectly in interviews and through her music, making it clear that she had moved on. The situation intensified when she re-recorded her debut album to regain control of her masters, a move Gotti openly disapproved of, as he still owned the original rights.

Ashanti declined to participate in Gotti’s Murder Inc. documentary, The Murder Inc. Story, and largely distanced herself from the public conversations surrounding their past. Yet, in the wake of his death, she took to social media to express her feelings. Despite the friction, she acknowledged his influence on her career.

“I’ve always respected your musical genius and ability to push me to be my best,” she said. “All the greatness and positive things that came far outweigh the dark and negative times. I have always prayed for you to find peace. Sending love and prayers to the entire family.”

In her closing words, she reflected on his passing, writing, “Rest well. Rest in Peace Irv.”

AllHipHop confirmed Gotti’s death, revealing he was surrounded by loved ones in his final moments.

While the official cause of death has not been disclosed, sources told AllHipHop that he suffered a massive stroke that led to a brain bleed.
