EXCLUSIVE: R. Kelly Gets Another Shot At Bail

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly has granted a hearing in an attempt to get out of prison in Cook County, Illinois.

Judge Harry D. Leinenweber granted the disgraced singer’s motion for a reconsideration of his pre-trial detention

Back in August, R. Kelly’s lawyer Steven Greenberg asked Judge Leinenweber to release R. Kelly on bail, since he has no previous convictions.

Greenberg also denied R. Kelly was a flight risk, due to his worldwide fame.

R. Kelly’s lawyer also noted the singer’s first trial for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old and then urinating on the teen in 2002.

“Mr. Kelly never missed a single court date, from 2002 to 2008, on his previous case. The court did not consider that Mr. Kelly appeared for each and every day of his trial and was present when the jury’s verdict was read. The court never considered that Mr. Kelly has been aware of these federal investigations and yet did not abscond,” Steven Greenberg argued.

Instead of being imprisoned, Steven Greenberg is asking the judge to confine R. Kelly to his home with electronic monitoring.

Greenberg also said R. Kelly would limit his access to the internet and of course, have no contact with minors.

R. Kelly’s attempt to get free is related to a 13-count indictment filed in July of 2019 in Cook County, charging the 53-year-old with child pornography, enticement of a minor and obstruction of justice.

It’s going to be an uphill battle for R. Kelly. Last week, his ex-girlfriend Azriel Clary labeled the singer a professional extortionist.

And prosecutors in Illinois maintain R. Kelly is still intimidating witnesses from the Cook County Prison.

To further compound R. Kelly’s woes, his business manager Derrel McDavid and his ex-manager Milton Brown lost their attempt to have a federal conspiracy charge against them in the 13-count indictment dismissed.

R. Kelly is also facing separate indictments for sex crimes in New York and Minnesota as well.

R. Kelly is set to appear before Judge Harry D. Leinenweber March 5th at 10:00 AM. 

Migos Announce “GNF” Single Featuring Young Thug & Travis Scott

(AllHipHop News) Migos have been hinting at the release of a new album for several months. Last July, Quavo stated that a project from the group would arrive at the top of 2020. Last month, Offset informed his Instagram followers that Culture III would be the last chapter in the series.

It appears the trio is finally ready to begin the rollout for their next official studio LP. Both Quavo and Offset uploaded the cover art for a song titled “GNF (Give No Fxk)” on Tuesday night.

“G N F Friday! @thuggerthugger1 @travisscott Drop A if U Ready!” wrote Quavo on IG. “GNF FRIDAY…. ,” posted Offset. “GNF” features fellow Atlanta rhymer Young Thug and Houston-raised rapper Travis Scott. The single is scheduled to drop on Friday, February 14.  

The original Grammy-nominated Culture album came out on January 27, 2017. The sequel, Culture II, dropped on January 26, 2018. Both projects peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 and have spent over 100 weeks on the chart.

Denzel Curry To Battle Rico Nasty At Red Bull Zeltron World Wide San Francisco

(AllHipHop News) Back in November 2019, Denzel Curry announced that he is taking his Red Bull Zeltron World Wide series across the country. The South Florida spitter is next set to face off against J.I.D on February 29 in Miami.

That matchup will be followed by Carol City native Denzel Curry versus DMV representative Rico Nasty at San Francisco’s Fort Mason on March 20. Denzel and Rico will go head-to-head in a five-round lyrical contest inside a wrestling ring.

Both rappers have more in common than just the forthcoming Zeltron World Wide event. Denzel Curry recently released the Unlocked EP with record producer Kenny Beats who also dropped Anger Management with Rico Nasty in 2019.

Previously, Curry partnered with Red Bull to battle Flatbush Zombies in Miami in 2018. The next bout was between Denzel Curry and Joey Bada$$ during the 2019 Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta. Zeltron World Wide is also expected to hit New York City this year.

 

Remy Ma Shuts Down Possibility Of Collaborating With Foxy Brown

(AllHipHop News) Remy Ma’s diss track “Shether” was directed mostly at Nicki Minaj, but Foxy Brown caught a stray on the record too. Rem rapped on the song, “Talking sh*t about me to a deaf b*tch. And usually, I have sympathy for the impaired, but not when you hard of hearing from untreated gonorrhea.”

During an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show, Remy was asked about working with other female rappers on her forthcoming studio album. The State of the Culture co-host made it clear Fox Boogie will not be on the project.

“I’m sorry I can’t. I can’t, Wendy,” responded Rem when the host suggested that she collaborate with Foxy Brown. “I love Kim. Me and Kim actually did a record together before I had the baby. We did ‘Wake Me Up’ together. We shot the video.” Williams then asked Remy if she was currently cool with Foxy. The Love & Hip Hop: New York star responded, “No.” 

She added, “I really don’t have any issues with any of the women. Right now is a great space for women in Hip Hop in general. The problem is, I think, is the other people on the outside that’s like, ‘Oh, don’t work with her because you’re going to get her hot. Or don’t work with her because you don’t need her.’ It’s never really the women because whenever I see any them – from when I met the City Girls, they were super cool. I talk to Cardi [B] all the time… but when it comes to working together, it’s other people that have their hands in it that’s saying, ‘Don’t help her.’ I never have a problem with helping someone. I love working with other women.”

Megan Thee Stallion Addresses Her Old Mugshot Going Viral

(AllHipHop News) Megan Thee Stallion has become one of the gossip blogs’ favorite targets in recent weeks. The latest headlines focused on the 24-year-old rapper’s old mugshot resurfacing on social media.

After people began to speculate why Megan was once arrested, the “Hot Girl Summer” performer decided to address the issue on Instagram Live. She claimed the booking photograph from 2015 was the result of a domestic dispute with her then-boyfriend in Austin, Texas.

“I was at motherf*cking SXSW, and my motherf*cking boyfriend at the time – I had just found out that this n*gga had had a baby, right then and there at the damn concert,” explained Meg.

The 300 Entertainment recording artist went on to say that she tried to walk away from her boyfriend after reading texts from the mother of his child. He supposedly began pulling and pushing her.

“It was fun at the time, but it was very toxic. But I was young and I thought that toxic sh*t was cute, but it’s not. Do not let n*ggas put hands on you, and don’t put your hands on n*ggas,” said Megan. “I’m not gonna say that I wouldn’t put my hands on him, ’cause when that n*gga got out of line I was rapping his ass up. But that ain’t come at no little, cute price.”

According to Megan, the police arrived at the scene where she and her boyfriend were having a dispute right as she was punching him. She apparently spent two days in jail before the case was dismissed in 2016 because the boyfriend did not press charges.

Long Beach Crooked I Takes On Audio Tech With New Venture Emrgnt

(AllHipHop News) Artists are creating new opportunities in 2020.

No longer are people simply sitting back and waiting on the big bag from the label, they are taking pages out the Troy Carter book of “Make it Happen” and creating come ups for themselves.

And while many rappers look to running their own label, real estate or buying a food franchise as the move for them to get extra paper, few look at tech.

Not Kxng Crooked.

The Shady Records/ Slaughterhouse artist most recognizably known as Crooked I has recently engaged in a work agreement with Emrgnt Technologies, LLC to launch The Plugs.

The Plugs is a digital system that will provide consumers with a variety of stylish wireless audio products.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8b3K3sDqRG

Along with rising artists MRK SX and J. IRJA, they are poised to elevate the listening experience of all who love music.

According to the company’s press release, the partnership will release its first wireless earbuds, LB-313.

The company contends that the earbuds “provide high-quality sound and features CVC 6.0 Noise Cancellation. Ideal for any environment, these wireless earbuds are extremely comfortable to wear. Additionally, the LB-313 earbuds feature Bluetooth 5.0 Realtek Chipset for the strongest signal without any disruption or delay within distances up to 50 feet. They also offer a powerful 6-hour battery life and can obtain a full charge, up to 4 times, before having to charge its charging case.”

We know that Crooked I has already established himself as an A+ emcee, hearing words in his head that once constructed in rhyme, are simply magical.

Let’s hope he has the same magic creating tech for our ears.

Jussie Smollett Indicted On Six New Charges Over Phony Hate Crime

(AllHipHop News) Jussie Smollett is facing a new set of charges for allegedly orchestrating a phony hate crime against himself.

Today (February 11th), prosecutors charged Jussie with six counts of disorderly conduct, for filing four police reports that the Cook County prosecutors maintain were fake.

Special Prosecutor Dan Webb said the decision to bring the new charges are an attempt to bring the former “Empire” actor to justice, over the $130,000 in overtime the Chicago Police Department spent pursuing the case.

“Mr. Webb has also concluded that further prosecution of Jussie Smollett is ‘in the interest of justice,” a representative for Special Prosecutor Dan Webb said in a statement. “Several factors went into this determination, including the extensive nature of Mr. Smollett’s false police reports, and the resources expended by the Chicago Police Department to investigate these false reports.”

In January of 2019, Jussie claimed he was assaulted outside of his apartment in Chicago, Illinois by MAGA hat-wearing racist white homophobes.

The attackers then allegedly poured a chemical substance over Jussie and tied a noose around his neck while yelling racial and homophobic slurs.

In reality, the 37-year-old actor was allegedly assaulted by the brothers from Nigeria named Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo.

Jussie was indicted on 16 counts in March of 2019, after it was alleged he had staged the hate attack on himself for publicity.

However, Jussie beat the case on March 26th, 2019, when all charges against him were unexpectedly dropped.

The new charges against Jussie come weeks after an Illinois judge ordered Google to turn over 12 months of Smollett’s personal electronic data to Special Prosecutor Dan Webb.

Jussie Smollett has denied faking the attack and has blamed law enforcement for disseminating “false and misleading information” to the public in his lawsuit against the city of Chicago.

Jussie Smollett will be arraigned on the new charges on February 24, 2020, at 9:30 a.m., Central Time in the Circuit Court of Cook County.

Check Out A Sneak Peek Of 50 Cent’s “For Life” On ABC

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent’s highly anticipated new scripted series “For Life” will debut tonight (February 11th) on ABC.

Fif serves as the Executive Producer of the “For Life,” which was inspired by the life of Isaac Wright Jr, who successfully fought a life sentence on his own and had the verdict overturned.

According to a synopsis for the show, the fictional character Aaron Wallace (played by Nicholas Pinnock) becomes a lawyer and starts litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn’t commit.

His quest for freedom is driven by his desperate desire to get back to the family he loves – his estranged wife and daughter – and reclaim the life that was stolen from him. “For Life” will also, through the window of his ferocious struggle and his complicated relationship with a progressive female prison warden (Indira Varma), examine the flaws and challenges in our penal and legal systems.

In addition to 50’s G-Unit Film & Television, the series is being produced by Hank Steinberg, Doug Robinson and Alison Greenspan of Doug Robinson Productions and Isaac Wright Jr.

Take a look at a sneak peek of tonight’s episode which airs at 10:00 PM.

EXCLUSIVE: XXXTentacion Murder Suspect Loses Fight For Bond

(AllHipHop News) One of the four men accused of shooting and killing rap star XXXTentacion has been denied bond.

In September of 2019, Trayvon Newsome’s lawyer filed documents with the court, claiming he was legally entitled to be bonded out until his trial for the murder.

Newsome was in court last week, where prosecutors presented more evidence to Judge Michael Usan during an Arthur Hearing to support two charges: first-degree murder and robbery with a deadly weapon.

Trayvon Newsome, along with Robert Allen, Michael Boatwright, and Dedrick Williams, has been charged with Capital Homicide.

The men could be executed by the state of Florida for stalking XXXTentacion and then senselessly killing the rap star during a botched robbery outside a motorcycle dealership in Deerfield Beach, Florida in June of 2018.

Lil Wayne Confirms His Love For La’Tecia Thomas

(AllHipHop News) Lil Wayne’s romance with his model fiancee La’Tecia Thomas has been made Instagram official.

The rap superstar has kept his relationship – and a secret 2019 proposal – with the Australian plus-sized beauty largely out of the spotlight, but he made his first appearance on Thomas’ social media page in a series of photos of the couple playing with sparklers.

She captioned the shots with emojis of a red heart and a stick of dynamite – the same symbol she recently had tattooed onto her right ring finger, apparently matching one Wayne has on his cheek, featuring a TNT detonator.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8kuzEbA9tM

The Instagram posts emerge just two weeks after Wayne and Thomas made their red carpet debut together at the album release party for the hip-hop veteran’s latest project, Funeral.

The “Lollipop” hitmaker has yet to discuss the romance in public, although he referenced his lady love on the album’s tracks “Stop Playin With Me” and “Not Me,” on which he rapped, “You know wifey from Australia/She said ‘Cheers mate’/Then we toast and see how you n##gas tears taste.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_EVolANud

The marriage will be Wayne’s second following his 2004 union to high school sweetheart Toya Johnson, the mother of his 21-year-old daughter Reginae. They divorced in 2006.

Wayne, 37, also has three younger sons from previous relationships, including model/actress Lauren London and singer Nivea. 

T.I. Working On Pure Heat! Behind The Scenes!

(AllHipHop Rumors) The KANG is back. Well, the King of the South is ALMOST back, not that he ever left. Word in the trap is that Tip has been working in the studio for quite some time, amassing a gang of songs. Now, sources say he has his normal crew around him and they have been encouraging him to do it. The time is now…

This past weekend, AllHipHop was on hand for T.I. recording a new video with the legendary director Hype Williams. Clearly, I was not there, but I am “in the know.” Now, I don’t know the name of the song, but I know some of it. The song FLIPS the beat for Biggie’s “Hypnotize” into a new Southern anthem with a new bop. The song is produced by Juicy J of the Three 6 Mafia and it is definitely going to be banging for the spring and summer. 

Here are a few behind-the-scenes from the AllHipHop Atlanta Crew.

OK! From what I am hearing, EVERYTHING Tip is doing is dope. Some of the songs are , mature, emotive AND hard for the streets. 

Omarion Discusses The Public’s Reaction To His Ex-Girlfriend Apryl Jones Dating His Ex-Bandmate Fizz

(AllHipHop News) Now that Omarion is on a press run to promote “The Millennium Tour 2020” the trek’s co-headliner is being asked about the drama surrounding Fizz and Apryl Jones. The relationship between the two Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood cast members became tabloid fodder for months.

Jones is the mother of Omarion’s two children. Fizz is Omarion’s former bandmate in B2K. As a result of that dynamic, many social media users blasted Fizz and Apryl for disrespecting the singer by displaying their courtship on Love & Hip Hop. However, Omarion became a meme for appearing to be unbothered about his ex-friend and ex-girlfriend connecting in such a public way.

“I want to be clear though. What me and Apryl had is what me and Apryl had. We created something really beautiful and gave something truly beautiful to each other that’s really irreplaceable,” said Omarion on Big Boy’s Neighborhood. “At the end of the day, even though I have public issues I wish no ill intention or malice towards anyone.”

When asked if it is crazy that people outside the situation express how they think he should feel about Apryl and Fizz, Omarion answered, “Yeah, no doubt. Especially because people assumed that nothing is being done.”

Last October, Fizz appeared on VH1’s Brunch With Tiffany series with Tiffany “New York” Pollard. The reality show star told Pollard that he currently does not have a personal relationship with Omarion even though they went on B2K’s Millennium Tour together in 2019. 

Omarion spoke about the status of his friendship with Fizz while sitting with Big Boy. The “Ice Box” performer stated, “I don’t have a relationship with Fizz. But I think there should be an opportunity for us to talk one day. I don’t know when that is, but there should be an opportunity for us to… Because it’s such a question to people, so it kinda creates this layer of ‘I don’t know.'”

Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” Tops The Hot 100 Chart For A Fifth Consecutive Week

(AllHipHop News) Roddy Ricch’s reign on the Hot 100 chart just won’t let up. The Compton rhymer sits atop the tally for a fifth straight week with his Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial track “The Box.”

With 63.2 million streams in the United States, “The Box” also leads the Streaming Songs chart for the sixth week. The Atlantic recording artist has ruled over the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and Hot Rap Songs chart for six weeks as well.

Ricch has managed to prevail over the Hot 100 for 71% of the year so far without releasing an accompanying music video, but the success of “The Box” is not just from streams. The single sold 12,000 units (#9, Digital Song Sales chart) and collected 46.1 million all-format airplay audience impressions on the radio (#15, Radio Songs chart) over the last tracking week.

Future and Drake’s “Life Is Good” collaboration continues to remain in the runner-up position for a fourth consecutive week. Post Malone’s “Circles” presently holds the third spot after reaching #1 for two weeks in 2019 and one week in 2020.
