T.I. To Play Aretha Franklin’s Lover In New Series

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper/actor T.I. has been added to the cast of an upcoming Aretha Franklin TV project as her one-time lover, fashion designer Ken Cunningham.

Cynthia Erivo will star as the music icon in “Genius: Aretha,” an authorized limited series which will chronicle the life and legacy of the late Queen of Soul, and although production was halted earlier this month due to the global coronavirus chaos, show officials have unveiled a number of new cast additions.

T.I. will play socially-conscious New York entrepreneur Cunningham, who approaches Aretha to invest in his fashion business and ends up embarking on a relationship with the singer.

He eventually became the singer’s road manager and fathered her youngest son, Kecalf Cunningham, who was born in April 1970.

Meanwhile, “Notorious'” Antonique Smith and acting newcomers Tina Fears and Ethan Henry have also been added to the line-up, with Henry set to portray civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.

The news was released to coincide with what would have been Aretha’s 78th birthday (March 25th).

Producers at America’s National Geographic network marked the occasion by releasing a new image of Erivo as the Respect legend.

“Genius: Aretha,” which also stars Courtney B. Vance as the musician’s father, reverend and civil rights activist C.L. Franklin, had been due to premiere this spring, but will now launch at a later date.

The TV series isn’t the only screen project about Aretha in the works – Jennifer Hudson is also playing Franklin in a new movie biopic, titled “Respect,” which is expected to debut this Christmas instead of its previously-announced October opening.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Drake has joined the long list of stars teaming up with movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg to produce new content for his new online TV platform, Quibi.

The rapper is developing new series “48 Hours of Power,” based on Robert Greene’s bestselling book referenced in his songs, as well as tunes by Jay-Z and Kanye West.

Each episode will detail the art of gaining and maintaining power.

“When Drake and I sat down with Robert Greene it was incredibly inspiring,” the “Hotline Bling” hitmaker’s producing partner Adel ‘Future’ Nur said in a statement. “The laws allow for a wide range of dynamic storytelling, and Quibi allows us to tell these stories in bite-sized chapters similar to the book.”

In 2009, rap star 50 Cent also released a similar concept with Greene called “The 50th Law.”

Set to launch on April 6th, Quibi will offer over 50 shows featuring and developed by Tyra Banks, Don Cheadle, Idris Elba, and Chrissy Teigen. 

R. Kelly Is In Fear Of Dying In Jail And Wants Out Immediately

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly is hoping the ongoing coronavirus pandemic will be his get-out-of-jail card, insisting he’s not safe behind bars.

The disgraced singer’s attorney, Steven Greenberg, has filed a motion, in which he implored lawmakers to release his client ahead of his upcoming Illinois trial, because he’s at risk of contracting COVID-19.

“No matter what steps they take the sanitation will be substandard, the risk of an internal pandemic at the MCC (Chicago, Federal Bureau of Prisons) is great,” Greenberg told TMZ.

According to the documents filed, Kelly insists social-distancing is impossible in the jail and hygiene items like soap are only available to inmates who can afford to buy them.

He also claims that making inmates stay behind bars during a pandemic is “tantamount to making them drink poison.”

Greenberg explains his client is willing to wear electronic monitoring if he is released on bail and stay at an apartment complex in Chicago with his girlfriend, Joycelyn Savage.

R. Kelly is facing a string of charges in Illinois and New York related to various sex crimes.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) French Montana is facing a sexual battery lawsuit from a woman who alleges he was one of several men who sexually assaulted her at his California home.

According to court documents, an unnamed woman, who filed the suit as a Jane Doe, is suing the hip-hop star, real name, Karim Kharbouch, a member of his entourage, Mansour Bennouna, and bosses at his label Coke Boy Records.

The lawsuit accuses French and his employee of assault and battery, sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and label chiefs of negligent hiring, supervision, and retention, and negligence.

The woman claims that she was invited back to the “No Stylist” hitmaker’s home after they met at a recording studio in the early hours of March 28th, 2018 and that she was plied with drink, including a shot that caused her to blackout.

She alleges French’s employee “sexually assaulted, sexually harassed, and raped” her, and the star, “sexually assaulted, sexually harassed” her.

Doe states that she remembers “several men coming in and out of the bedroom” and attacking her while she was incapacitated and that she believes French “was one of the men” who sexually assaulted her.

The alleged victim states she “regained consciousness” around 1:30 p.m with Bennouna “spooning” her and that she “felt a pain in her pelvis, lower back and v#####.”

The lawsuit states that after leaving the rapper’s home, she had a rape kit administered and that the investigation reportedly showed the presence of semen, after which she reported the rape to the police, accusing French of sexual assault.

She is seeking unspecified damages for the “extreme emotional distress, anxiety, flashbacks and depression” she allegedly experiences and claims the trauma halted her burgeoning career as a model.

She continued. “I really like the way Tupac speaks. His cadence, his flow. He’s just very dominant. He just gives big top energy and I just feel like I do the same. When he’s talking, he just really be talking that sh*t that I like. I feel like when my Hotties [are] listening to me, that’s how they feel.”

For his first cable news interview about the live-streamed “Homeschool at Club Quarantine,” D-Nice spoke with MSNBC’s The Beat with Ari Melber. The Boogie Down Productions affiliate chatted with the television journalist/Hip Hop head about what he personally took away from the historic social networking moment.

“One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is that I feel like we hit a re-set on life. I know it’s a hard time, but now we’re starting to see what’s really important to us like family and friends and community,” D-Nice told Melber.

He continued, “That was part of the experience that I had. It was all of these people that lifted me up. I was feeling alone at home, and I felt so connected to people through music, through playing music on the gear here in my living room. It was like this virtual world I was in. People came together.”

On Wednesday, D-Nice teamed with Michelle Obama’s When We All Vote non-profit, nonpartisan organization to deejay the “Couch Party” voter registration event on Instagram. According to reports, the When We All Voter initiative received 407,824 text messages from eligible voters.

Out of this bad time, we’re making some great progress and doing some fantastic things and that happened to be one of them,” said D-Nice on The Beat.

Quality Control Donates Funds To Help Feed Families During Coronavirus Outbreak

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused millions of Americans to be out of work at the moment which could lead to hunger concerns. The label home to Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and City Girls is assisting in helping some people in need.  

Quality Control Music’s CEO Pierre “P” Thomas and COO Kevin “Coach K” Lee announced a $100,000 donation to GOODR. With QC’s aid, the Jasmine Crowe-led company will provide grocery deliveries to 1,000 families in the metro Atlanta area during the COVID-19 outbreak.

GOODR’s mission statement reads:

At Goodr, we believe that hunger isn’t a scarcity issue. It’s a logistics issue. Even with many social programs that aim to end hunger, the current food supply chain ecosystem in the United States has failed to solve this problem which has grown into a national epidemic. Every year in the United States, we waste over 72 billion pounds of edible food, yet 42 million people are suffering from food insecurity. At the same time, over $40 billion in tax benefits for businesses goes unclaimed annually. We believe the solution is simple: Feed more, waste less. Goodr provides a secure ledger that tracks an organization’s surplus food from pickup to donation, delivering real-time social and environmental impact reporting analytics. The Goodr model aims to provide a triple-win solution by improving an organization’s bottom line through charitable tax donations, reducing its greenhouse emissions from landfills and getting its edible surplus food to local communities in need.

Families with children and seniors can now submit a request form for delivery now by visiting Goodr.co.

Rob Kardashian Denies Abusing And Burning Baby Dream In Custody War With Blac Chyna

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rob Kardashian has hit back after his ex-fiancee Blac Chyna enlisted the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) to investigate him, claiming their daughter Dream suffered multiple burns while under his care.

After three-year-old Dream returned to her mother’s house with a “severe second-degree burn” on her leg after being with Rob on March 21, Chyna turned to the DCFS to look into the reality star because she was concerned about “her daughter’s physical and emotional well-being,” according to her attorney Lynne Ciani.

It was the second time Dream had returned from Rob’s house with a bad burn.

However, Rob has insisted that his former nanny was to blame for both incidents, and she is in the process of leaving his employment.

“Unfortunately Dream has had two accidents in the last month while with this nanny,” Rob’s attorney Marty Singer said in a statement. “Following an investigation by the DCFS and the police in which Rob fully cooperated, he has every reason to believe that there will be no findings of any safety issues in his home.”

The statement went on to allege that the DCFS have also visited Chyna’s house amid third party concerns about Dream’s wellbeing, after she “arrived to Rob from Chyna with many unexplained injuries including rashes, cuts, bruises and a dislocated arm”.

“It is unfortunate that Chyna feels the need to publicly miscommunicate the situation and has once again wasted valuable public resources by calling first responders in a desperate attempt to smear Rob’s name in response to his ongoing lawsuit against her for full custody of their daughter,” Singer’s statement concluded.

The exes’ latest battle comes after Rob’s emergency bid for primary custody of Dream was denied by a judge in January.

They will face off in court later this year to fight for custody of Dream.

M.I.A. Will Die Before She Gets Vaccinated

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) M.I.A. has sent fans spiraling after insisting she’d choose death over a vaccine.

The outspoken “Paper Planes” hitmaker made it clear she’s anti-vaccination in a series of tweets during an online chat with followers on Wednesday, explaining she’s not a fan of any medication – even if it offers safety from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

“If I have to choose the vaccine or chip I’m gonna choose death,” she wrote.

“Most of science is in bed with business. Business is in bed with banks, banks are in bed with tech, techs in bed with us, we re in bed with corona. Corona is in bed with science. So on… the best is prevention.”

As followers expressed their disappointment with her anti-vaccine stance, M.I.A. continued: “In America they made me vaccinate my child before the school admission. It was the hardest thing. To not have choice over this as a mother. I never wanna feel that again. He was so sick for 3 weeks then Docs had to pump him with antibiotics to reduce the fever from 3 vaxins (sic).

“As an adult you have choice! By then you’ve built your immune system.”

M.I.A. then urged all her fans stressing out over the coronavirus pandemic to calm down and trust the vaccines they were given as a child.

“Don’t panic you are ok,” the Bad Girls star added. “You are not gonna die. You can make it without stressing the medical systems. Just breathe. You are going to be ok. You can make it through without jumping in the frying pan. You are fine. All the vaccines you ve already had is enough to see you through.

Alicia Keys Reveals What Stopped Her From Getting An Abortion

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Alicia Keys has stunned fans by revealing she considered terminating her second pregnancy in a new memoir.

The singer felt she wasn’t ready to become a mom again and thought about having an abortion in 2014, according to an extract from “More Myself,” obtained by the MailOnline.

“This is the worst time ever,” she recalled telling her doctor, explaining she was hard at work on her sixth studio album, Here, at the time.

“I’m working on my next album. My husband just got into Harvard Business School. And I’ve been drinking. A lot,” she said. “I left her office feeling so torn.

“The music I was creating felt more important and urgent than just about everything. I’d have to put off its (album) release for at least a year if I chose to have the baby.”

But her abortion thoughts were fleeting and while she was listening to a song she wrote with her producer husband Swizz Beatz days later she realized she was destined to become a mom again.

“While I was struggling over my choice, I went into the studio one evening and began listening to ‘More Than We Know,’ a song Swizz and I had written,” she wrote. “The lyrics are about how we’re capable of so much more than we can ever imagine. My eyes filled with tears. How could I take away the potential for this beautiful child. This light that could touch others in ways I couldn’t dream of.

“For me, the song was a powerful message that I should go on with the pregnancy.”

Her son, Genesis Ali Dean, was born in December, 2014.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) British grime star Bugzy Maline was reportedly seriously injured in a quad bike crash on Wednesday night.

The rapper was being filmed by friends in a car as he raced his bike down the road in Manchester, England.

However, after crashing into an Audi A4 car, the musician, real name Aaron Davies, was thrown around four meters from his vehicle, landing on the ground in a pool of blood.

“He told me his name, he told me he was 29-years-old he told me where he lives. I asked him if he wanted to call anybody and he said yes, his partner. He unlocked his phone and I told her he had had an accident and it was not life-threatening and she could come down.

“She was there within 20 minutes. She was shocked.”

Once ambulances and police arrived, Malone was taken to hospital. His current condition is as yet unknown, but his music pals were quick to take to social media to offer the rapper their well wishes.

Kanye West Supports President Trump But Still Has Not Registered To Vote

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has compared the backlash he’s experienced since voicing his support for controversial U.S. President Donald Trump to how he felt “as a black guy before I was famous.”

The 42-year-old rapper has been verbally abused on social media for backing the Republican politician and many of his unpopular policies.

And, reflecting on the response in an interview with WSJ Magazine, Kanye admitted it was one he had experienced before.

“I’m a black guy with a red (MAGA, Make America Great Again – Trump’s slogan) hat, can you imagine?” he mused. “It reminded me of how I felt as a black guy before I was famous, when I would walk in a restaurant and people would look at you like you were going to steal something. ‘This is your place, Ye, don’t talk about apparel. This is your place, Ye, you’re black, so you’re a Democrat.'”

Despite the fact he’s spoken of his admiration of President Trump on numerous occasions, Kanye told WSJ Magazine he doesn’t really follow politics and, in fact, isn’t even registered to vote.

As well as his controversial political beliefs, Kanye, married to Kim Kardashian, is famous for his drive in life – and has previously expressed an interest in running for president himself in the future.

But when it comes to what motivates him, the father-of-four doesn’t like to call it ambition.

“I do not like the word ambitious,” he insisted. “I’m Kanye West. The word ambitious is beneath my abilities. I’m just a doer. You can see in my eyes there’s not one bit of fear.”

The self-described Hot Girl added, “I be like, ‘Damn. Actually, I go to school and I rap and sometimes I be cooking. I’m a dog mom. I’m an awesome friend. [Twerking is] not all I be doing. It’s just that maybe when you’re logging in, you came to see me twerk. ‘Cause you ain’t see that freestyle I just dropped?’ I can rap and twerk.”
