(AllHipHop News) Fans were upset with Post Malone and Billie Eilish for not canceling shows amid the Coronavirus outbreak.
Post Malone performed Thursday night at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, as part of his Runaway Tour, which began in September of last year.
Fans were concerned the show was still slated to go on, despite the rapid spread of the Coronavirus.
Getting more video from inside @pepsicenter. Thought I was seeing empty seats for @PostMalone in the middle of COVID-19 outbreak. Turns out… it’s packed. So much for social distancing. #9Newspic.twitter.com/8uPbHN0lEi
In a report by TMZ, one fan tweeted The Pepsi Center, “Wow. Wildly irresponsible and greedy. Thanks for the $300 loss.”
While many fans complained, video footage from the arena showed the concert was still packed. The “Sunflower” star has since postponed the rest of his shows.
Billie Eilish also caught some heat for not canceling her Raleigh, North Carolina show. The singer tweeted a list of postponed shows from her Where Do We Go Tour. The postponed dates included shows scheduled for March, but fans in Raleigh were upset to see their city wasn’t listed.
One fan tweeted, “So you’re not gonna postpone the one in Raleigh, North Carolina. Everything else in NC is being canceled …even on campus college classes.”
Billboard has reported that all tours by Live Nation and AEG have been canceled because of COVID-19.
So you’re not gonna postpone the one in Raleigh, North Carolina. 🥴Everything else in NC is being cancelled…even on campus college classes.
(AllHipHop News) Bay Area rapper A-Wax was arrested on a murder warrant March 10, in connection to a homicide investigation.
A-Wax, whose real name is Aaron Scott Doppie, was charged with three felony counts related to alleged possession of a loaded gun and two large-capacity magazines after they were located during the arrest.
A-Wax’s attorney Paul Alaga told The Mercury News that the weapons were “nowhere near” the rapper and that the charges were based on “pure speculation.”
The rapper’s bail was set at $1.1 million. No details have been revealed about the homicide investigation.
A-Wax’s bail hearing is set to take place on March 27th but maybe rescheduled due to COVID-19 concerns, since Monday, March 16th, Contra Costa County courts will be closed for two weeks.
A-Wax has two prior convictions which include manslaughter and burglary in the state of Washington.
(AllHipHop News) DaBaby is being sued by his alleged slap victim.
DaBaby allegedly slapped a young woman at his Tampa Bay concert on March 7. The rapper says he hit someone after a flashlight from a cell phone was put in his face, blocking his vision.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit filed by the alleged victim Tyronesha Laws states that she was hit “suddenly and without any warning.”
She claims that she was waiting in the crowd of concert-goers for DaBaby to take the stage when the incident occurred. Laws’ claims that she wasn’t the person who flashed the light in the rapper’s face, but the person standing next to her did.
Her attorneys Matt Morgan and Chelsea Cromer of Morgan and Morgan referred to the slap as “outrageous and shocking.”
Laws is suing for battery, intentional infliction of emotional, and other damages. She is seeking a total of $30,000 in damages.
“I do sincerely apologize, I do. I’m very sorry that there was a female on the other end of that flashlight on that phone.” He continued in the video stating that the reason he retaliated was because he couldn’t see.
Boxing champ Adrien Broner was arrested in Miami Beach on Friday night for a DUI.
TMZ reports that Broner was stopped by local police around 8:45 Miami time. They believed Broner was under the influence and arrested him. His bond was set for $1000 and he was put on an eight hour hold – I’m assuming to sober up.
AB isn’t unfamiliar to the legal system and has been sued many times and accused of a pleather of other things.
Broner has since been released and went straight to Instagram claiming he isn’t scared to go back. Sheesh!
(AllHipHop Features) Check any “best rappers list” and top slots are dominated by men. Look at the history of west coast rappers, and the biggest names are the “boys in the hood.” Meet the anomaly in Azjah, the Princess of Compton.
Transcending categories that box her in, such as “female” and “rapper,” Azjah’s approach to being great is authenticity. And she’s not just the rapper who shows up, she’s the artist determined to leave an impact.
In 2019, Azjah released her debut album Princess Diaries. Appropriately titled, the body of work takes you on a journey through her life experiences – from moments of celebration and success to stories of personal struggle, family hardship and the realities of her world. Her music carries a message, and her vocal delivery, perfectly encompassing the essence of her energy, is its own form of melodic meditation.
Azjah puts as much love into her community as she does her craft. She and her father – also CEO of her indie label Rocc Solid Entertainment – revitalized the basketball court in their Wilmington Arms neighborhood of Compton, California. On any given day, you can catch Azjah and Rocc in the community throwing block parties, barbeques and back-to-school events, where everyone is welcome. Fellowship and freedom are her ideals. Through fellowship, Azjah inspires people to come together and generate collective power not just to survive hardship, but to achieve the freedom to overcome adversities and thrive.
Azjah and her team are strategic with every move. Opportunities must resonate with who she is, what she believes in, and what she represents. In 2020, Black Arrow joined with LA Galaxy in effort to engage the urban community with major league soccer. When Azjah was tapped to feature in the campaign launch, it was an easy decision for her to get on board. Proudly representing Compton, the collaboration includes a lookbook and short film documentary which depict Azjah in her home territory. This statement was not just to introduce Compton to major league soccer, but to bring major league soccer to Compton – reminiscent of when the late, great Nipsey Hussle brought GQ to Crenshaw. Azjah is big on pride in oneself and in her community; and her music and lifestyle reflect that.
2019 gave Azjah a taste of live performances and life on the road. She hit the stages of BET Experience, Rolling Loud, toured locally with fellow LA rapper Mozzy, and snagged a coveted spot on the legendary Snoop Dogg’s album, I Wanna Thank Me, featuring on the pulsating track “Ventalation.” She also starred in Compton Dreams, a Snap Originals docuseries which followed three Compton rappers chasing their hip hop dreams. Azjah’s vision is clearer than ever and, in 2020, she’s set to deliver her next collection of music with On One. The EP is expected to impact radio and move the Princess of Compton further toward her goal of earning her spot among Hip Hop royalty.
(AllHipHop News) The outbreak of the coronavirus, along with a national health emergency in the United States has forced Boosie Badazz to cancel his highly anticipated annual concert.

(AllHipHop News) Mariah Carey called on her eight-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan to help her take over TikTok with her latest clip on the site.
The singer took to the video sharing platform to share the post of the trio washing their hands, following the advice of the World Health Organization amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, to the tune of her 1995 hit “Fantasy.”
In the clip, 49-year-old singer demonstrated how long you should be washing your hands for amid the health scare, as Mariah and the twins sing along to O.D.B.‘s verse from the hit remix of the tune.
“Are you ready? We got 20 seconds!” she tells the twins before they join in with her singing the verse.
She added in the caption: “Exercising this to 20 seconds of Ol’ Dirty B**t###! Wash your hands! Stay safe!!!”
(AllHipHop News) While many people are upset about how much money they are losing this week (stock market crashing and The Rona stopping people from touring), Travis Scott is doing the happy dance.
Travis was the victor in a recent legal battle, saving him a cool $100,000.
On the last day of 2017, “Sicko Mode” rapper was in a horrible car crash on his way to Diddy’s house for an unforgettable New Year’s Eve night of partying with Puff, DJ Khaled, Halsey and so many more.
Instead, Travis wound up smashing a rented Lamborghini Aventador that he copped from Super Cars, a company specializing in providing influencers and rich people with high-end luxury cars.
The car sustained what has been labeled as “extensive damage,” according to court records.
But Travis and the company that owned the car came up with an off the books, $90,000 deal, to squash everything. Sounds too clean to be true?
Well, it was.
Super Cars doubled back and wanted an additional $100,000 to repair the car, stating that the damages caused by the wreck hindered their ability to get more gwap for the vehicle, since it was out of commission.
However, Travis is a smart cat.
Travis Scott went on the offensive and sued Super Cars in Miami-Dade circuit court, insisting “Super Cars threatened to violate the terms of the confidentiality provision contained in the settlement agreement by making specious and salacious claims to news agencies and tabloids regarding the accident.”
Originally a trial judge ruled in Scott’s side, but Super Cars appealed the verdict. Then it went to a Third District Court of Appeal, who also sided with Scott.
According to the ruling, the Astroworld mega star coughed up all that he needed to.
(AllHipHop News) The world is different when you are a Drake.
It seems that the “God’s Plan” rapper either does not know how it works in the states or will be receiving some special attention that is usually not afforded to the average joe.
According to sources, Drake (whose real name is Aubrey Graham) asked a presiding judge to push back his scheduled trial date because he simply does not have the time to go to court.
The boxer was reportedly captured on video punching a man named Bennett Sipes at Delilah nightclub. The assault took place in front of a group that included Drake and American football star Odell Beckham Jr.
But….Drake is busy.
Periodt!
According to TheBlast, documents say that the Champagne Papi is booked all the way up to maybe February 2021. Between touring, recording, special appearances and all the other ways he makes his paper, his pursuit of chasing the bag is the priority over his case.
Even his co-defendant professional football player, Odell Beckham, is also asking for the trial date to be pushed back. While he also may not be able to meet until February 2021, we at least know that his schedule is determined by the NFL.
In accordance with their pre-determined schedule, he will be unavailable from mid-July until next year.
The courts have yet to issue a ruling on the matter.
(AllHipHop News) Federal prosecutors in New York have added a string of new charges to R. Kelly’s racketeering indictment, including an allegation of sex with a minor.
One of the alleged victims, only identified in legal papers as “Jane Doe #5,” told authorities she was underage when she had sex with the “I Believe I Can Fly’ hitmaker in 2015.
The 52-year-old is also accused of filming his exploits with the girl, and failing to disclose the fact he had herpes during their relationship.
In addition to the sex crimes, the musician is facing new racketeering charges, with prosecutors claiming he used “force, threats of force, physical restraint and threats of physical restraint.”
R. Kelly, who is behind bars in Chicago, Illinois awaiting trial on other sex abuse charges, has always maintained his innocence, and after the updated New York indictment was released, his attorney, Doug Anton, called into question the legitimacy of the latest accusations made against his client.
“It seems that the government has sought to add additional allegations as to alleged conduct, with what they believe to be more specificity,” Anton shared in a statement.
“Why these alleged facts relating to conduct were not known by the government until now, or included in the indictment until now, raises questions for my defense team to take an interest in…”
Suggesting the women are fabricating their claims, he continued, “These are serious criminal allegations. How does an alleged victim ‘forget’ such things? Or… perhaps… these allege victims are not victims at all, but only women who have been told and instructed, even peer pressured if you will, years later, that the claimed relationship they freely and voluntarily engaged in, should now, in the #metoo era, be classified as ‘bad’ or ‘abusive,’ and they are continually seeking to add facts, even if not truthful, to their story, to make the alleged events as salacious as humanly possible.”
(AllHipHop News) Rapper Maxo Kream is mourning his brother Money Madu after he was fatally shot inside an apartment in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles on Monday.
The 27-year-old was declared dead after emergency responders found him lying in the street with a bleeding wound, after witnesses in the apartment block told police that the up-and-coming rapper had gone outside before returning and shouting, “I was shot!”
According to reports, his roommate called emergency services, but as yet there is no public information about how the incident went down.
Madu is the third rapper affiliated with the Crips gang to have been killed in a year, after the deaths of Nipsey Hussle and Pop Smoke.
After the news broke, Maxo shared a picture of his brother cuddling Money’s youngest daughter, along with the caption: “No words or caption can explain wat I’m goin thru… I never expected this or ever lost somebody this close to me.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.”
The 29-year-old, real name Emekwanem Ogugua Biosah, Jr., continued: “You don’t get over it, you just get through it. You don’t get by it, because you can’t get around it. It doesn’t ‘get better’; it just gets different.
“We must embrace our pain and burn it as a fuel for our journey. Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it. Long Live @mmadu_kream.”
Nicky Bondz is here to spread positivity in both his music and practice. Having gone through the trials and tribulations of losing his father, at the same time enduring a detrimental injury while playing hockey, the New York native was forced to face his battles and overcome them.
Now, he aims to bring positivity and feel-good vibes through his music. Describing himself as “a person who’s definitely been through a lot as an individual,” he arrives resilient, driven, humble, loving, sympathetic, and empathetic. His sound is a mesh of the old school rap he grew up, mixed with pop and EDM elements.
Most recently, he unleashed a romantic anthem called “Satellites” reminding you that love does exist in the world.
AllHipHop: Talk about being from New York and moving to Atlanta.
Nicky Bondz: I’m from New York originally, moved down to Atlanta 2 and a half years ago. Actually it was because of a PHD program I got into for mental health. That was the original plan. While down there, I decided to start messing around with music. Went from more of a hobby then as you get better or gain more confidence in yourself, I started to take it more seriously. The quality got better, streams started happening. I started getting some numbers and thought “okay, there could be a potential here.” That’s when I started formulating a team to help assist me. Got better production, better engineers. Treat it like a little business.
AllHipHop: Where did you first upload your music?
Nicky Bondz: They’re on all platforms. Spotify, Apple, Amazon, Tidal, even Tik Tok has it. It’s out everywhere, available on all platforms except SoundCloud.
AllHipHop: Who are your biggest influences?
Nicky Bondz: Definitely Wayne, Weezy F. Baby. I grew up in New York though, so 50 Cent was really big growing up. When I was in high school, he was huge. I was a big rap guy. I’ll be real with you when I was younger, I listened to a lot of rap. But gangster rap so Styles P, Jadakiss, Lloyd Banks, The Game. Other guys T.I., Ludacris, Rick Ross was coming out but he’s still new back then. 2 Chainz was really new then. I also listened to Dipset with Juelz Santana, Cam’Ron, Jim Jones. Every now and then, I’d listen to EDM but at that point, EDM wasn’t what it is now. That was 2005, so EDM isn’t how it is now where there’s huge festivals.
AllHipHop: How would you describe your sound?
Nicky Bondz: Very, very eclectic. If people don’t know what that means, it means a combination of things. It’s crossover-ish to an extent. There’s EDM qualities in my music, there’s pop qualities in my music, there’s also hip-hop qualities in my music. That’s where the industry is going in a way. Everything is getting blended over time. You see more rappers going over EDM beats, you see them doing features on big guys like David Guetta. Calvin Harris and Future do a lot of songs together.
We’re starting to see this merge happen of these three genres of pop, electronic, hip-hop. It’s definitely a new sound. Very warm, very bright sounds. It’s feel-good music. It’s club music, it’s party music. It’s definitely not something you listen to after you break up with somebody. It’s more what you listen to when you’re ready to go out with your friends, or you’re on the beach and you’re having a good time. It’s pick-me-up, most of the songs are high tempo.
AllHipHop: What inspired your new single “Satellites”?
Nicky Bondz: When I heard the beat, I wasn’t thinking of a club banger. I was thinking more of a ride out song where you’re driving and chilling, but has to do with relationships. It’s taking people on a journey because the beat is spacey. It has a trippy vibe, the whole point’s to take people on an adventure. Because the song has a story. The music video itself, there’s a plot.
We tried to paint a picture of literally me and this girl. It could be anyone listening to the music, them and the person they’re in love with. Like the chorus says, “no one gets me as high as you do,” so Satellites and shooting stars right? There’s really cool lines in the song that talk about that journey you can have with the person you love. How when you’re in love, you feel like you’re in the stars. You feel like you’re in space. You know the old expression: cloud 9, you feel good. I wanted to give the love that cosmetic existential vibe to it.
AllHipHop: Biggest thing you learned studying psychology?
Nicky Bondz: Oh God, how crazy I am. [laughs] Besides learning all my funny traits and characteristics… that’s a tough one. The biggest thing I learned about myself as a person is my ability to follow through and do something. In the topic of psychology, the brain is just unreal. How complex we are, it’s crazy. I don’t want to nerd out on you too much, but there are some really cool things about neurotransmitters and chemicals. How we function, things that cause depression and things that don’t cause depression.
Things that cause anxiety, this all happens because we have chemicals in our brains that go up and down depending on what we eat, how we feel, how high our stress levels are. I could go on for days on what I like about psychology. Overall learning about how we really function is really, really cool. It helps you as a person once you’re that educated because you can be super self-aware and self-conscious, and be a better person.
AllHipHop: What can we expect from your new album VIZION 2020?
Nicky Bondz: For the next album, experience some type of music that you’ve never heard before. It’s called Vizion 2020 for a reason because in the aspect of an artist, I’m a visionary. Visionaries are people who change paradigm shifts, they’re ahead of their time. They make the next trend, so I’m trying to be that guy that makes the next sound.
(AllHipHop News) Diddy made a splash early in the reality show/competition movement when he dropped his hit series “Making the Band” on MTV.
While he did not originate the show that gave the world the less than memorable boy band O-Town, he gave us Hip-Hop TV moments that have lasted forever.
Or birthing Babs Bunny, one of the three owners of the Queen of The Ring battle rap league, that is probably the premier portal of female competition emceeing.
To put it mildly, the show was epic.
Now, the Combs Boys —guided by their Yoda-of-a-dad — have set the stage to relaunch the brand on MTV, for a new generation.
Taking to social media, they have created a buzz around the audition process in a way that their dad could not do in the early 2000s, if for no other reason than the technology did not lend to the expansive recruitment that can be done now.
All three of Diddy’s kids (Christian, Justin, and Quincy) have made their own names as influencers bringing social capital to the table to make this just pop like no other talent competition before.
And right when they were about to host auditions in two major cities, Charlotte and NYC, they have been hit with the same scary obstacle that the NBA, NFL, MLB, Disney, Broadway, Facebook, and so many others have been: The Rona!
Due to the recent outbreak of the COVID-19 aka the coronavirus, the in-person audition process has halted.
MTV released a statement on Twitter on canceling the last two auditions:
“As a precautionary measure to ensure the health of our production crew, talent and aspiring artists, all public auditions for MTV’s “Making the Band” in Charlotte, NC on March 13-14 and New York City on March 21-22 have been canceled. Safety remains our utmost priority, and we’re continuing to defer to health officials and the CDC for guidance.”
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was set to attend the NYC auditions at MTV Studios, posted on Twitter, “We want to make sure everyone is safe during these times, so we had to make the decision to cancel the in person @MakingTheBand casting events. But at the same time, I want to provide the opportunity to everyone to audition from their homes.
(AllHipHop News) J. Cole’s highly-anticipated Dreamville Festival is the latest victim of the coronavirus.
But thankfully, the show may go on.
According to raps for J. Cole, the festival will be rescheduling the original date of April 4th to this summer, on August 29th.
The Dreamville Festival will still be held at Dorothea Dix Park, in Raleigh, North Carolina.
For those who can’t make the new date, J. Cole and Dreamville Festival are graciously offering refunds.
The news comes on the heels of President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency, to try and stop the spread of the virus.
Take a look at the full statement below:
“Dear Dreamville Family,
We recognize there’s been a lot of questions about the status of Dreamville Festival and in light of recent developments, we are excited to let you know we are moving forward with a new date.
While the State of North Carolina and local health officials continue to work to protect the well being of all in the State, we have worked collaboratively to identify the best possible outcome. We are excited to announce that Dreamville Festival will now take place on August 29, 2020, and will remain at Dorothea Dix Park. All tickets for the April event will be honored for the rescheduled date. For any current ticket-buyers unable to attend the rescheduled event, refunds will be offered.
While this decision has been extremely difficult to make, the safety of our fans, artists, and staff is always our top priority, and nothing will ever take precedence over your well-being. We now encourage everyone to follow the guidelines and various preventive measures put forth by local and national health authorities.
Our team is extremely committed to bringing the event to fruition for all our Dreamville family, and we can’t wait to see everyone in August. We are also very appreciative to the City of Raleigh for helping us find a new date so quickly.
“Originally, we were scheduled to announce the festival lineup this week and are now working around the clock to reconfirm all performers scheduled for the April date. We hope to announce the full music lineup as early as next week. Follow dreamvillefest.com for more updates coming soon.”
(AllHipHop News) Willow Smith’s underwent an image overhaul during her recent performance art piece by having her head shaved
The 19-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and rumored love Tyler Cole took part in a 24-hour performance at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s (MOCA) The Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday, which explored the star’s lifelong struggles with anxiety.
The performance saw the pair transition through eight stages of anxiety while inside a box, with the production split into three-hour blocks exploring different emotions relating to anxiety, including sadness, paranoia and compassion, throughout the silent piece, which she described as “very primal.”
Jada was on hand for the performance, and whipped out her phone to record video of Cole cutting her daughter’s hair, which she shared on her Instagram page.
“@willowsmith at her interactive experience. My baby shaved her head! Again!” Jada penned. “The start of a new beginning.”
Both Smith and Cole wore black boilersuits and boots during the exhibit, which featured them completing various tasks.
After her head was shaved, Smith put on a pair of bunny ears while writing messages on the white walls. She also held up a sign that read, “When you practice patience… you are emulating the very spirit of nature.”
The exhibit, dubbed The Anxiety, is described as, “A personification of the emotional spectrum within the human mind and through performance art.”
(AllHipHop Rumors) Andrew Gillum found himself in a very Marion-Barry-like situation.
And let’s just say that we are going to believe him… and not the police.
According to Gillum, while attending a wedding celebration of a friend, he got drunk and wound up in a hotel with a couple of his homeboys.
Here is what is being reported.
The Miami Beach Fire Rescue crews were called to a hotel at 1100 West Avenue shortly before 1 a.m., to assist in a suspected drug overdose.
There were three men inside of the hotel room, according to the Miami local 10 news, Gillum, Aldo Mejias, 56, and his young buck, Travis Dyson, 30.
Dyson rented the room and apparently, Gillum and Mejias were his guests.
Mejias came to the room later and met Gillum and Dyson there. In Mejias’ opinion, the two of them were pretty f##ked up but didn’t know what they were on.
Dyson kept throwing up and falling on the bed and so Mejias called the cops. When the cops arrived they tried to get a statement from the former Mayor of Miami and former presidential candidate, but he was too wasted to form a cohesive sentence (oh s##t FAMUs best… First Kwame Kilpatrick and now this guy… maybe y’all need to stick to marching bands!).
The police found three small clear bags of some kind of drug that turned out to be crystal meth.
Sounds perfectly normal… bruh… that happens to everyone on a late Miami night after a wedding, right?
Andrew Gillum was forced to make a statement on the controversy.
“I was in Miami last night for a wedding celebration when first responders were called to assist one of my friends,” Gillum said in a statement. “While I had too much to drink, I want to be clear that I have never used methamphetamines. I apologize to the people of Florida for the distraction this has caused our movement.”
“I’m thankful to the incredible Miami Beach EMS team for their efforts. I will spend the next few weeks with my family and appreciate privacy during this time.”
This, as he said, is a distraction. Just like The Rona.
(AllHipHop News) A gangster convicted of kidnapping rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is asking to have his sentencing date pushed back, over two weeks’ worth of drama at the Metropolitan Correction Center in New York.
Anthony “Harv” Ellison is currently being held at the notorious MCC prison, where he is awaiting sentencing for abducting Tekashi 6ix9ine during an internal fight amongst the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, over control of the “FEFE” rapper’s career.
On April 1st, Harv Ellison was supposed to be sentenced to prison, thanks in part to Tekashi 6ix9ine’s testimony provided during a two-week trial.
Now, an attorney for Anthony “Harv” Ellison are asking to reschedule his sentencing date, because they have had zero access to him to discuss his sentencing.
A big obstacle for Harv’s lawyer started on February 27th, when MCC went on total lockdown after a gun was reportedly smuggled into the facility.
Harv’s lawyers have been unable to offer him counsel, because of the lockdown, which was lifted on March 6th, after guards found a loaded gun in an inmate’s cell.
And now an even greater problem: the worldwide havoc the coronavirus is causing has put millions of incarcerated prisoners in the United States at risk of contracting the deadly illness.
Many activists are worried that jails and prisons will become a breeding ground for the next big outbreak of Covid-19 aka the coronavirus.
In fact, infamous lawyer Michael Avenatti, who was convicted of trying to extort Nike, is being housed in the same prison as Harv. Avenatti just filed documents asking to have his sentencing date pushed back too.
Avenatti’s lawyer said his prison cell in MCC is filthy, reeks of urine and is infested with rats. Harv and Aventatti are among the more than 2.2 million people are in jails or prisons in the United States.
But earlier this week, prisons and jails across the country started restricting visits to inmates. In California, Minnesota, and Florida, visits to prisoners have been completely banned according to Rolling Stone.
New York officials have declared a state of emergency, and the Department of Corrections issued new measures to screen any visitors during the outbreak of the coronavirus.
“Visitors will likely experience longer than usual wait times and may be denied entry if they appear ill or pos a rise to the health and safety of the facility based on questionnaire responses,” according to a DOC press release.
As for Anthony “Harv” Ellison, his lawyers are asking for his sentencing date to be pushed back to at least April 27th.
(AllHipHop News) Despite dealing with an ongoing legal fight with her 1501 Certified Entertainment label, Megan Thee Stallion continues to present new content. Her latest release comes in the form of Tyga’s “Freak.”
Tyga linked with the self-described Houston Hottie for his new 3-minute ode to sex. “Freak” features both T-Raww and Thee Stallion rapping about their need for a partner that can satisfy them.
“I need a freak, freak, freak to rub my hair, hair, hair. I need a freak every day of the week. Put her legs in the air. I want a freak, freak, freak who just don’t care, care, care. I need a freak wit a big ass butt, make all the n*ggas stare,” says Tyga on the song’s hook.
2019’s Legendary was Tyga’s most recent full-length project. He worked with Offset, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, J Balvin, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, G-Eazy, Rich The Kid, Swae Lee, YG, and other artists on that effort.
