By: Simone GrantCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) According to rumors, Kim and Kanye have sought out a sex doctor to salvage their marriage. 

Reports say that they have had counseling in the past and it helped so the couple is hopeful it will aide in their issues again. 

An insider explains how they have sessions at least once a week and the therapist is giving them suggestions to put the flames back in their marriage. 

Kim has supposedly hired a team of therapists specifically for Kanye. 

These therapists would be on call 24/7 when he was touring because she was stressed about his history of mood swings and manic episodes.

Kelis Claims Pharrell And Chad Hugo Stole Her Publishing

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Kelis has claimed she was “blatantly lied to” and “tricked” by The Neptunes production partners, Pharrell Williams, and Chad Hugo and made nothing from her first two albums.

The production duo, known as The Neptunes, met Kelis through a mutual friend when she was 19, and took on producing Kaleidoscope in 1999, Wanderland in 2001 and some tracks on her 2003 album Tasty.

But in an interview with Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, the 40-year-old star alleged she was left out of pocket after being “blatantly lied to and tricked” by “The Neptunes and their management and their lawyers and all that stuff.”

“I was told we were going to split the whole thing 33/33/33, which we didn’t do,” she said, adding that she didn’t initially notice the lack of funds because she was bringing in some money from touring and “just the fact that I wasn’t poor felt like enough.”

“Their argument is: ‘Well, you signed it.’ I’m like: ‘Yeah, I signed what I was told, and I was too young and too stupid to double-check it,” Kelis continued.

The singer went on to insist she’s not angry about the situation, crediting her lifestyle on a farm in America for helping her take on a new outlook on life.

“To be honest with you, I think if it were not for my faith, I feel like that would probably be the case. It’s very clear to me, especially being on a farm, that whatever you put in the ground, that is what’s going to come back to you,” she mused.

When it came to the production of her third album, Tasty, Kelis went with a variety of different producers due to her issues with The Neptunes.

But she has seen Pharrell again since then – at an industry event where he was performing and she was in the audience.

“He did that thing to me that he’s notorious for, which is making a nod from the stage (to someone in the audience), so it seems like there’s mutual respect, when in reality…” she laughed. “I’m like, OK, I’m not going to yell back: ‘You stole all my publishing!’ So you end up nodding back and everyone thinks everything’s great. Like, whatever.”

However, when asked if she’d ever work with Pharrell again, Kelis insisted: “Ummm, at that point there’s having faith and there is also just stupidity.”

Fetty Wap’s Lawyers Earning Their Money; Valet Assault Case Dismissed

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Fetty Wap scored another legal victory this week when a judge tossed charges against him over a brawl with a valet at Las Vegas hotel.

In October of 2019, Fetty Wap has hit with an assault charge for beating up a valet during an angry confrontation at The Mirage hotel.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department hit Fetty with one count of misdemeanor battery.

On Monday, Fetty Wap accepted an agreement with prosecutors in the case, who agreed to drop the charges if the Patterson, New Jersey rapper can stay out of trouble.

Earlier this week, Fetty Wap beat a case in Los Angeles, after the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office found “insufficient evidence” to convict him for allegedly roughing up a woman during a fight in a Hollywood Hills mansion in June of 2019. 

Judge Accuses R. Kelly Of Using Prison Staff’s Phone To Target Witnesses

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly’s request to disclose the identities of two women accusing him of sexual abuse was denied by a judge on Wednesday (January 29th).

The singer was arrested last year on a 13-count federal indictment for sexual abuse in Chicago, while he is also facing a racketeering and sex trafficking trial in New York.

Earlier this month, R. Kelly’s lawyers filed a demand to unmask two women making allegations against the singer – who are each listed as ‘Jane Doe’ in the court papers.

Jane Doe No. 2 claims that she and Kelly had sex in 1999, when she was 16 years old, while Jane Doe No. 3 has alleged Kelly kept her locked in a bedroom in a Chicago recording studio for three days without food, and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious.

However, in her ruling, Brooklyn Federal Judge Ann Donnelly explained she had rejected the request after prosecutors had “substantiated” that the singer can interfere with his case from prison.

The prosecution team referred to “instances in which the defendant has circumvented prison protocols to communicate with third parties, including by abusing the legal mail system and using a prison staff member’s telephone” in their argument, Donnelly wrote.

But Kelly’s defense attorney Steve Greenberg argued the singer “simply has no means or method by which to engage in any obstructive conduct.”

He also said that he and his team are unable to “adequately prepare for trial without knowing who each of the supposed ‘victims’ are.”

The prosecution team stated in court papers that they will reveal the identities of the accusers two weeks before the trial begins.

R. Kelly has pleaded not guilty to all allegations. 

A$AP Ferg Talks Kobe Bryant’s Passing & Working With Kanye West

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) A$AP Ferg returned this week with the HighDefRazjah-produced single “Value.” The A$AP Mob member spoke to Zane Lowe on Apple Music about the song, an upcoming collaboration album, Kanye West, and the untimely death of NBA icon Kobe Bryant.

“I was supposed to actually fly into LA the day he passed away and actually go to Calabasas. He died in the area of the studio I was supposed to go to, so it was a damper. Some people, we just don’t picture passing. I just didn’t know he would go or even go in that way. God bless him and his family,” said Ferg about Bryant dying in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

In addition, the NYC-bred rapper revealed that he is creating a joint project with one of the “biggest producers in the whole world.” A$AP Ferg did not reveal the name of the beatmaker, but he did talk about working with production genius Kanye West on new music.

“I’ve actually been in the studio with Kanye for the last three days. It’s been good.  When I was going to Calabasas, that’s who I was working with. It’s been amazing to see his journey and to see this new person he’s becoming, and just kind of being able to assist him with that,” the self-described Hood Pope told Lowe. “[We’re] just making music and just having a lot of conversation. We talk most of the time. Sometimes we go to the studio and just talk.”

Ferg added, “If it wasn’t for Kanye and Pharrell being in Hip Hop, I would probably know how to do it, but they showed me how to just fully immerse in yourself and be yourself. We never seen anybody do it in a different way besides those guys in my generation, so they inspired me. We just have conversations about that, and me going to his studio where he creates all his mock-ups and shoes. He’s working on his couture line. I’m immersed in his world. That’s what I want to take it to. That’s the level that I aspire to take it to, so it’s crazy. It’s an amazing experience.”

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) When PartyNextDoor dropped the two-pack of tunes “The News” and “Loyal” (featuring Drake) in November, fans were expecting a full-length project to arrive soon after. He first announced an album would hit the internet in the first month of 2020.

Soulja Boy Faces Lawsuit For Allegedly Pistol-Whipping & Kidnapping A Woman

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) DeAndre Cortez Way (aka Soulja Boy) has mostly been laying low since his release from jail in 2019. The “Crank That” hitmaker is actually preparing to take part in Omarion & Bow Wow’s “Millennium Tour 2020”

Before he can hit the road, Soulja Boy is now reportedly facing an assault & battery, false imprisonment, and sexual battery lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court. An article published by The Blast claims an unidentified woman is accusing SB of striking her in the head with a gun, stomping on her stomach, and ordering her to be tied up.

The woman was also supposedly sexually assaulted by another person inside of Soulja’s house. According to legal documents, the alleged incident took place in February 2019 during an on-again/off-again 4-year romantic relationship between the alleged victim and Way.

Details of the suit include the woman accusing Soulja Boy of threatening to kill her, forcing her to take a shower while he watched, and instructing his assistant to tie her up with duct tape. She also contends that she was pressed to perform oral sex on another man in order to escape the garage where she was being held.

The woman apparently filed a police report about the incident and was taken to the hospital at the time. She was said to have suffered three fractured ribs and a facial contusion. 

Last April, Soulja Boy was sentenced to 240 days in jail for violating his probation. The ruling came after law enforcement officers discovered ammunition in his California residence. Reportedly, police searched his home that month in connection to an allegation he held a woman captive in his garage.

Did Offset Deny Any Involvement In A Gun-Related Incident At The Grove?

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Offset has found his name in countless headlines this morning. The Migos member was reportedly forcibly detained by police officers in LA’s The Grove shopping center.

TMZ published cellphone footage of a man that resembles Offset yelling at cops. According to the outlet, Set and three other individuals were taken to the station for further questioning after law enforcement recovered two guns at the scene. No official arrests were made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exnbf_2LWek

However, Offset appears to be claiming that at least some aspects of the reports are inaccurate. The rapper born Kiari Kendrell Cephus wrote on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page, “Nah I’m out person mistakes us.”

Offset later added a message to his Instagram Story that seemed to be a response to the news that he was taken into police custody. The short video of his jewelry included the caption, “The devil is a lie I’m covered by the blood of Jesus.”

Correction: A previous version of this article referred to Offset’s comment as a deleted Instagram caption. The statement was actually left on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page.

Dr. Umar Johnson Fuels Kobe Bryant Assassination Theories

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) The world is still reeling over the sudden, tragic death of Kobe Bryant, GiGi and seven other people in a crazy helicopter crash. There has been no formal reveal on the deaths yet, but early reports suggest that the fog was too much. The fog was apparently so thick that the police downed their choppers. 

The whole Black nation is talking about Dr. Umar Johnson, the controversial Pan Africanist and psychology master. Well, he came up with a theory that has gotten people in a big ol’ TIZZY! He basically claims that Kobe Bryant was assassinated. How? They messed with his helicopter propellor and it caused the plane to crash. Who did this? He does not specify, but he alludes to the government, the Illuminati, a big pharma company and the NBA. WOW. Look at the video and tell me what you think?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfSt9v_xAJ4

A lot of people are believing this crazy stuff! Not me!

He is going to have to substantiate these claims with more facts and more information than that!!!! But people are believing it! The one that seems somewhat interesting is the notion that the NBA was not pleased that Kobe might be starting a league in China. 

“They did not crash because of the fog—that was an expert pilot. Kobe was sabotaged. Not to mention, Kobe Bryant was engaged in a legal battle with a big pharmaceutical company over the use of the name, ‘Black Mamba.’ You understand me? Radar can see through the fog. Radar can see through the fog. They didn’t crash because of no damn fog and it wasn’t no wind. The propeller was sabotaged.”

Hopefully, Dr. Umar can get to the bottom of this!

(AllHipHop Features) Stunna 4 Vegas recently dropped his latest album, ‘Rich Youngin’ via Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment and Interscope Records. 

The North Carolina rapper even amassed streams in the millions in 24 hours. 

The project is rightfully titled, ‘Rich Youngin,’ as the Salisbury native got rich in six months, and as he has no problem flexing his new lifestyle.

AllHipHop: Who were you influenced by? Who were some of your biggest influences growing up?

Stunna 4 Vegas: Down south music was probably the biggest influence, but if I say an influence that made me want to get serious and taking rapping serious was Da Baby after we did the feature for sure.

Pastor Troy Sparks War With Lil Nas X Over Gay Encounter At Applebee’s

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rap star Lil Nas X has found himself in an unlikely feud with hip-hop veteran Pastor Troy.

The beef started earlier this morning when Pastor Troy took to Instagram to air out his grievances with the Grammys.

The organization has been under fire over the past few weeks as rappers like Chuck D., Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Tyler, the Creator criticized the organization over its lack of transparency and diversity.

Pastor Troy, who has released 29 full-length albums during his 20-year career, decided to diss the Grammys.

The “No Play In G.A.” rapper chose to call out Lil Nas X, who won two awards and headlined a star-studded rendition of his hit country rap song, “Old Town Road” during the 62nd annual show.

Lil Nas X decided to wear a bright pink suit trimmed in gold, over a see through mesh shirt, with a pink matching cowboy hat and boots to match.

Troy, who has worked with Lil Jon, Ludacris, Rasheeda and others, was even more enraged when he had to watch two men kissing while he was eating with his young son.

“Welp, Guess I won’t be winning a GRAMMY…If this what I gotta wear. They love to push this s### on Our Kids!! The other day @applebees had some punks kissing and laughing eating mozzarella sticks. First Thing My 14 yr old Son said was, ‘F**** Applebee’s’ And It Brought Joy to My Heart!!” Pastor Troy said.

“He sees it…their agenda to take the masculinity from Men, Black Men Especially. Some may say, ‘He Making Money!!’ Rupaul do too, but I ain’t bumping his CD!!! Integrity is Priceless. Y’all Better open that 3rd Eye and let your Sons Know What Is Real…Or They Ass Gone Be Headed Down That Old Town Road Foreal!!~P.T.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B759M19Ff0G

Pastor Troy’s bold post started trending on Twitter this afternoon and the controversy caught Lil Nas X’s attention.

Lil Nas X retweeted a post about featuring Pastor Troy’s comments with a simple reply: “damn i look good in that pic on god.”

Lil Troy’s Instagram page has been flooded with angry comments from Lil Nas X’s fans, but the Atlanta rap legend continued to clown the “Old Town Road” star’s fans.

“It worked. It worked perfectly. Cause now all these f##gots on my page wanna fight me. See, that’s that male aggression coming back out ya. It’s in ya, you just gotta let it hang out.”

With the Power 100, Billboard use to rank 100 music industry professionals for their work in the various areas of the music industry that helped catapult artists to the top of the charts.

As music industry veterans and industry newcomers made up those in attendance, The legendary Clive Davis made an appearance to present the Clive Davis Visionary Award to Atlantic Records’ CEO Craig Kallman and COO Julie Greenwald.

Before the movers and shakers of the music industry were honored, AllHipHop caught up with the one-and-only Kash Doll to discuss her Grammy Week, ‘Stacked’ album, time spent with Lil Kim and more.

AllHipHop: How did it feel to drop ‘Stacked’ last year?

Kash Doll: I had to get that load off. I had to let it out. It was built up inside of me so long, so I feel lighter. I feel free. I let it all out, so I feel amazing.

AllHipHop: What brought about that Lil’ Ru Sample?

Kash Doll: You know I get a little nasty.

AllHipHop: I feel like you really support everybody. You aren’t in drama, and you empower other females. We saw you with the Queen Bee. What was that like being with Lil Kim the other night?

Kash Doll: Amazing. She’s such a beautiful person. She’s an icon. She’s a legend. Being around her; she embraced me. She was kicking it with me, telling me things. We shared secrets. I don’t know; it was just like being with my big sister I never had.

AllHipHop: How does it feel seeing so many females dominating Hip Hop right now?

Kash Doll: It feels like this is how it’s supposed to be. It reminds me of the era when she was out, the Brat was out, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Left Eye, Eve. I miss that. I’m just happy it’s back.

AllHipHop: Who are you must excited to see at the 62nd Grammy Awards?

Kash Doll: Who all is going to be here?

AllHipHop: They have the Nipsey tribute.

Kash Doll: Oh I’m ready to see the Nipsey tribute!

AllHipHop: We have some good people nominated. We have Meek, we got Da Baby etc.

Kash Doll: I gotta see Meek. He’s from the streets, and he’s been at it for a long time. I respect that. I can’t wait to see it.

AllHipHop: Lastly, what’s next for Kash?

Kash Doll: You’ll see. You know I don’t talk about it. I do it. Period.

Before all of the action, AllHipHop caught up with Anthony Hamilton to discuss his favorite Diddy moment, his top 5 favorite rappers, and his new projects.

AllHipHop: We are at the 2020 Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala. Puff is being honored tonight. What’s your favorite Diddy moment, song he produced, [or] lyric?

Anthony Hamilton: You know I was signed to Uptown, so I’ve seen a lot of great Diddy moments. My favorite moment was when he introduced Jodeci to the world and Mary J. Blige. That’s [Jodeci] Charlotte, North Carolina, my hometown, so I’m excited to honor him for allowing Charlotte to be what we are now.

AllHipHop: What’s next for Anthony?

Anthony Hamilton: You know what, I just did a movie called ‘Influence’. Carl Webber is a great writer. I just put out a book called ‘Conbread, Fish’n Collard Greens’ that goes into the journey of me and behind the music, and I’m working on a new album. I just got off the phone yesterday with Neyo. So I’m excited about that. But I have some songs man from 9th Wonder and Rick Ross.

AllHipHop: Lastly, [who are your] top 5 rappers dead or alive?

Anthony Hamilton: Kendrick Lamar, Run-D.M.C, Rakim, Nas, Da Baby.
