Cheetos Puts Big Bucks Behind MC Hammer With Super Bowl Commercial

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rap veteran MC Hammer is revisiting the origins of his hit song “U Can’t Touch” This for a funny Super Bowl Cheetos commercial.

The hip-hop star will promote the snack brand’s new cheesy popcorn product during the big American football game, which will be broadcasted live from Miami, Florida on February 2.

In the new advertisement, Hammer takes viewers back to his native Oakland, California in 1989, when he was in the process of writing the catchy 1990 tune.

He’s featured sitting in front of a piano, eating a bag of Cheetos, only to realize he can’t touch the keys as his fingers are covered in the cheesy orange ‘dust’ from the snack.

According to the ad, his predicament leads to the creation of “U Can’t Touch This.”

“We saw the Super Bowl as the only fitting place to debut our biggest product launch in a decade with Cheetos Popcorn,” says Rachel Ferdinando, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Frito-Lay North America, the company behind Cheetos.

“And of course, joining our mischievous brand identity in a playful way with MC Hammer was a perfect fit.”

Quavo Throws Punches In Paris After Club Security Fails To Recognize Him

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Migos group member Quavo was involved in a brawl in Paris after he was embarrassed security guards who almost denied him entrance to a party.

The rap star is in France to celebrate Paris’ Fashion Week, where his Migos group member Offset launched his clothing line Laundered Works Corp.

Quavo was out on the town partying when he attempted to gain entrance to a VIP party at a club called Palais Maillot.

A backup dancer who toured with Beyonce in a group called Les Twins helped smooth things over with security, who eventually let Quavo inside the club.

But the Atlanta rapper was fuming mad over his treatment, and he was caught on camera punching an employee of the venue, as well the dancer who helped him get inside.

Luckily for Quavo, no one called the cops.

EXCLUSIVE: Trey Songz Jane Doe Accuser Loses Attempt To Remain Anonymous

By: Nolan StrongCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) The unidentified woman who claims she was assaulted by Trey Songz just failed in her effort to remain anonymous in her $10 million lawsuit against the singer.

“The Court concludes that Plaintiff has failed to show that she has a right to proceed pseudonymously in this case,” Judge Ursula Ungaro ruled.

The woman lodged her complaint as Jane Doe on January 2, 2020.

She insists Trey Songz, born Tremaine Aldon Neverson, sexually assaulted her when he tried to insert his fingers in her v##### during a New Year’s celebration in 2018.

Shortly after the woman filed her claim against Trey Songz, Judge Ungaro scolded Jane Doe for not following legal protocol, because she filed her lawsuit anonymously without the court’s consent.

The Jane Doe plaintiff wrote a letter to the court urging the judge to shield her name because she is a “Muslim woman” from a strict religious household who dreaded “reprisals affiliated with” her religion.

Jane Doe was also worried Trey’s fans were going to attack and humiliate her, should her identity be exposed.

But if Jane Doe wants to continue her $10 million claim against Trey, she’s going to have to reveal herself because “personal embarrassment” alone is not enough for leave to proceed anonymously under the law.

“The Court is not persuaded that the psychological harm and reputational damage described by Plaintiff rises to the level necessary to overcome the presumption of openness in judicial proceedings,” Judge Ungaro ruled.

Kanye West Criticized For Bringing Sunday Service To Anti-LGBTQ Event

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West has booked his Sunday Service choir to sing at a controversial evangelical event this weekend.

The rapper’s gospel troupe is headed to Tempe, Arizona on Saturday to perform in the Sun Devil Stadium at Awaken 2020, a religious gathering that has sparked outrage from the LGBTQ community for its lineup of speakers.

Cindy Jacobs, who has been openly hostile towards gay marriage, and Lou Engle, an advocate of Uganda’s anti-homosexuality bill, are slated to speak.

“We believe Kanye is a sign to this nation that in a moment, thousands and thousands can be swept into the kingdom when (God) converts key people and their voices will be like thunder,” Engle told The Western Journal of the Sunday Service booking at Awaken 2020.

However, fans online have expressed disappointment Kanye has agreed to allow the choir to perform at the religious gathering.

Kanye is rumored to be taking his Sunday Service choir on a world tour later this year.

B2K Star Raz B Busted For Drunk Driving

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) B2K star Raz B is facing a charge of driving under the influence (DUI) following an arrest in California early on Wednesday.

The singer’s Mercedes-Benz was pulled over by a police officer in Burbank after reportedly running a red light, and during the traffic stop, the 34-year-old, who did not have his driver’s license on him, claimed he was lost.

According to TMZ, Raz confessed to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana hours earlier, prompting the cop to conduct field sobriety tests, which he failed.

He was subsequently taken into custody and booked for the DUI.

Raz, real name De’Mario Monte Thornton, has since been released on $5,000 bond.

The news of his arrest emerges less than a year after the “Bump, Bump, Bump” star was busted by police in Minneapolis, Minnesota on domestic violence allegations.

However, the case was dropped by authorities last May due to a lack of evidence.

Eminem’s ‘Music To Be Murdered By’ Album Makes References To Mass Tragedies

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) There was speculation for months that Eminem was working on a new studio album. The rumors were proven true when the Detroit emcee released Music To Be Murdered By today (January 17).

Eminem’s Alfred Hitchcock-inspired presentation features Royce da 5’9″, Kxng Crooked, Joell Ortiz, Black Thought, Q-Tip, Denaun, Juice Wrld, Ed Sheeran, Young M.A, Skylar Grey, Anderson Paak, and Don Toliver.

Some listeners were offended by Em’s lyrics in the song “Unaccommodating.” He rapped, “But I’m contemplating yelling ‘Bombs away’ on the game like I’m outside of an Ariana Grande concert waiting.” The line was a reference to the 2017 bombing at Grande’s Manchester concert. 22 victims died, and 139 were wounded.

Eminem also addressed gun violence in the music video for “Darkness.” The visuals for the track include audio from a news clip about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting where 58 people were killed and 413 were wounded. The shooter targeted concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest festival.

DaBaby Facing Court If He Doesn’t Settle Assault Claim

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The man who was allegedly attacked and robbed by DaBaby will file motions against the rapper if a settlement isn’t reached by the end of next week.

Concert promoter Kenneth Carey previously vowed to sue the star after he was taken into custody earlier this month when members of the musician’s entourage were allegedly caught on camera jumping him and stealing his money.

And he appears to be sticking to his word. His legal team is giving the rapper until the end of next week to get back to them, before taking him to court over the incident.

Carey’s lawyers have reached out to DaBaby, “in hopes of settling this matter expeditiously.”

Carey revealed he was hired to throw a birthday party for rapper Stunna 4 Vegas at a Florida nightclub on Thursday night and made a deal with the “Suge” hitmaker to host.

The gig was for a discounted rate of $30,000 because the rappers are friends and, when he showed up with $20,000 and promised DaBaby the rest of the money once the party was over, the MC and his crew turned violent.

DaBaby, who was charged with battery, was released from jail in Miami, Florida after posting $1,500 bail.

Future’s Baby’s Mothers Are Sick & Tired Of Him Not Taking Care Of His Responsibilities

By: Simone GrantCategory: Rumors

Future might have not left his household in order. At least that’s what it seems like according to a post by his baby’s mother, Cindy Renae.

We all love a good quote and we all love putting two and two together to make drama. Cindy posted a quote from Jay-Z that says, “A man that don’t take care his family can’t be rich.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ZrtiKlcO4

His other baby’s mother, Eliza Reign, came with the co-sign as she put a simple exclamation mark underneath the post.

Remember these two ladies got a DNA test to prove their children were siblings and the test determined they are in fact related? I guess Future didn’t get the memo.

Lori Harvey, Future’s newest lady, just got wined, dined, and flewed out to Jamaica with him and some of her friends. I guess Cindy and Eliza didn’t get the memo that their children’s father was taking his new babe out the country. Yikes!

Future, are you taking care of your responsibilities at home? We all would like to know.

Future must really be in love to fly her out on a private jet with all her homegirls and hire a camera crew to follow them around. Must be nice.

The two made it official official on the gram a few days ago and the internet has been glued to see what other surprises the rapper has for his new lady.

Is Lil Fizz Trolling Us All With His Latest Move!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) We thought Apryl Jones and Lil Fizz were kaput! They recently broke up, but is that really the case? There is a new report that suggests that the whole thing was a bogus attempt at getting people to watch the hit show, “Love & Hip-Hop.” Remember, Apryl was boo and baby momma of Omarion and then jumped ship to his B2K bro Lil Fizz. This made both of them look like bozos! People hated them! So, when we got word they broke up, I saw people all over the internet celebrating and al that mess. 

Omarion got the last laugh when he got Fizz and B2K booted from a tour, while he went on to do his thing. So this was like the laugh after the last laugh! But it seems like Apryl and Fizz might be getting a bit of a chuckle. 

A report by Bossip is stating that the actual reason for the break up is to get people to watch the show they star in! “That breakup is a fake feeble attempt to drum up a new storyline for ‘Love and Hip Hop Hollywood. Apryl and Fizz are still living together and over the weekend gave Kam a birthday party,” an insider told Bossip. 

So now we know how to make people think you don’t mess with somebody – Hey unfollow them on social media! Apryl and Fizz-roid unfollowed each other on social media and the “media” used that to confirm they were broken up. Yes, this is called new wave reporting.

Roddy Ricch Beats Domestic Violence Charges

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Los Angeles prosecutors have dropped domestic violence charges against

rapper Roddy Ricch due to a lack of evidence.

The “Ballin'” star, real name Rodrick Wayne Moor, Jr., faced criminal action after a heated argument with his girlfriend reportedly turned physical last August.

His alleged victim didn’t require medical attention, but Ricch, 21, was arrested for misdemeanor battery on a spouse or girlfriend and later released on bond.

However, authorities have since declined to pursue the case.

Putting the legal issue behind him is good news for Ricch as he continues to celebrate after scoring the first U.S. chart double of the new decade.

His debut album, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, and single, “The Box,” hit the number one spots on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 countdowns this week.

(AllHipHop News) How far would you go to show your love for the person you want to marry? Apparently, Jasiel “Yung Joc” Robinson wanted a permanent sign of dedication to his fiancée Kendra Robinson.

While appearing on Tiffany “New York” Pollard’s Brunch With Tiffany interview series, Yung Joc discussed his decision to tattoo Kendra’s name on his penis. The Scared Famous co-stars’ conversation included Joc and New York addressing the physical suffering involved in inking a male sex organ.

“I don’t think you can take it on the head. You’d probably pass out… It’s on the side,” said Yung Joc. The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast member went on to talk about how the tattoo artist used a numbing cream on his genitals.

Then Joc explained, “Somebody would say, ‘That’s crazy. Why would you do something like that?’ Well, I knew that with my history, my background when it came to women, I just knew somebody would be coming out the woodworks saying some stuff.”

The 36-year-old Streetz 94.5 radio host added, “I knew, with my lady being an attorney, that was going to be the one key piece of evidence that if those people did not know, then they definitely won’t be able to lie on me.”

Yung Joc used to date Karlie Redd and Khadiyah Lewis on the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reality show. The “It’s Goin’ Down” hitmaker has eight children by four different women, including two sets of twins. He proposed to Kendra during a 2019 episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.
