Cardi B Buys Tons Of Christmas Gifts For Needy Kids

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B gave needy kids in Florida an early Christmas over the weekend by filling a rental truck with toys and gifts.

The “Money” hitmaker visited a Target store in Miami on Friday and bought over $5,000 worth of goodies, including games, dolls, and playthings, according to TMZ.

Cardi B also hired a U-Haul rental truck and called on some aides to help load the toys and ship them off to kids.

The hitmaker has been very generous of late – earlier this month she played Santa to an orphanage in Lagos, Nigeria on December 7th when she dropped off supplies and hung out with the kids looking for homes.

Before her performance at the Livespot X Festival, the “Bodak Yellow” star spread a little cheer, handing out gifts, water and food, and chatting to orphanage staff.

“Gotta thank the ladies and the gentlemen that nurtured these kids that need just a little bit of more love and protection and gear them up for a better place, destiny, and future,” Cardi captioned a photo on Instagram. “People like YALL MATTER !”

Music executive Brooklyn Johnny, who accompanied Cardi to the orphanage, also posted a shot of himself and Cardi standing by the mountain of supplies, adding: “We spent our only free time in Nigeria shopping for children in need. We literally bought as much as the vehicles we had in our convoy could carry… Today was a good day.”

A week later Cardi gifted her husband Offset a very expensive birthday gift – a refrigerator stocked with $500,000 in cash.

The arrest was an unfortunate end to a day that started off positive when DaBaby played Santa and handed out toys to over 200 local kids.

Police Seize Cocaine And Guns On Lil Wayne’s Private Jet

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Wayne is heading into the Christmas season with some legal problems.

According to the Miami Herald, the rapper’s Gulfstream G-V private jet was searched when he landed in Miami earlier today (December 23rd).

The police received a tip that someone in Wayne’s entourage was transporting drugs and guns.

When Lil Wayne’s jet landed at the Miami Opa-Locka Executive Airport, police found cocaine, opioids, and guns.

Lil Wayne has not been charged with a crime since he was just a passenger on the jet.

But the rapper is not in the clear just yet. 

According to reports, police found a gold-plated .45 caliber gun and some drugs in his bag. 

The Feds have been zeroing in on rappers and their private jets over the past year.

Earlier this month rap star Juice Wrld died as police raided his private jet at Midway Airport in Chicago, where they uncovered 70 lb of marijuana.

In April, rap star Ralo was busted by the feds for smuggling millions of dollars worth of marijuana from California to Atlanta on his private jet.

This scenario is also familiar to Lil Wayne.

In 2010, Wayne was sentenced to a year on Rikers Island in New York, after police found a 40 caliber handgun on his tour bus in New York in July of 2007. 

Dame Dash Says Jay-Z “Stole”, But Here’s Allegedly How!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) OK, first of all, this is the way this is going to go down. Dame Dash is talking about Jay-Z again. And why? People keep asking about Jay-Z to Dame. But in this last one, Dame said Jay STOLE from him. This is exactly what he said:

Damon accused Jay-Z of devaluing the brand by disassociated himself with it, only to launch a new “Roc” brand – Roc Nation in 2008 – in a $150 million deal with Live Nation.

Damon said the root of the problem was Jay-Z’s ego. According to Dame, Jay-Z could not share the spotlight with his former partner.

“He wanted to be the boss and have people work for him for 25 years straight, which is what happened,” Damon told 92.3’s Big Boy during a recent interview.

It’s doubtful the legendary trio will ever reconcile either according to Dame.

“No matter what, I feel he robbed me. Period. And no matter what, I’m always gonna feel that way,” Damon said.

Here is the video: 

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MegCQpuS9

Now, this Brit dude that is very witty has basically created a whole video chronicling the beginning and end of Roc-A-Fella Records. I think it is pretty entertaining, but the crazy thing is the narrator really a Dame Dash hater. Nevertheless, AllHipHop gets a quick look…lol! This is super, duper entertaining! 

So, this really isn’t all that much about “how much Jay stole from Dame” but more like how Dame has imploded. Sheesh! 

Travis Scott, Frank Ocean Reportedly Headlining Coachella

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Travis Scott and singer Frank Ocean are reportedly set to join Rage Against The Machine as headliners for California’s 2020 Coachella music festival.

The rockers announced last month that they would be reuniting to perform at the annual event in Indio in April, and now Scott and Ocean have been added to the top of the bill, too.

The full line-up isn’t expected to be released until early January 2020.

The festival will take place over two weekends, with the same artists taking the stage from April 10th-12th, and again from April the 17th-19th.

Rage Against the Machine, who last played together in 2011, headlined the very first Coachella in 1999, while Scott performed at the festival in 2017, and Ocean was among the musicians to hit the stage in 2012.

Childish Gambino, Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande led the line-up for 2019’s event. 

Rapper Kodak Black Helps With Construction Of Jewish Temple

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Imprisoned rapper Kodak Black is giving back as he donated $8,000 to charities, families and religious institutions from behind bars.

The rapper has been incarcerated since May when he was arrested shortly before he was due to perform at the Rolling Loud music festival in Miami, Florida.

After denying any wrongdoing, the “ZEZE” MC, real name Bill K. Kapri, eventually reached a deal with prosecutors over falsifying information on federal forms to purchase three firearms in the state of Florida and is now serving three years in jail.

But that hasn’t stopped the star from getting into the holiday spirit, as the 22-year-old has donated a generous $8,000 to charitable organizations, children’s centers, places of worship, and to families.

Kodak Black has also made arrangements for a shipment of toys to be delivered to the Paradise Day Care Center in Broward County, Florida, which will be dished out to more than 70 different families in need, according to his lawyer Brad Cohen.

The rapper also sent funds to a family that has a child who is blind, as well as braille gifts and games that are voice-controlled, among other useful contributions, and made a $1,000 donation to Rabbi Kaplan of the Downtown Jewish Center Chabad in Fort Lauderdale toward the building of a new temple. 

EXCLUSIVE: Rick Ross “Intimidated” Process Server In Sex Tape War With 50 Cent

By: Nolan StrongCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) 50 Cent is accusing Rick Ross of hiding from him and sending his lawyers on a wild goose chase.

The Queens rapper is suing his former lawyers at Reed Smith for $32 million in a malpractice lawsuit over a leaked sex tape.

50 Cent says Reed Smith’s sloppy work forced him into bankruptcy over a $7 million judgment.

The money was awarded to Rick Ross’s ex-girlfriend Lastonia Leviston, who said 50 bought the raunchy tape from her ex-boyfriend Maurice Murray in 2009 at the climax of his feud with Rick Ross.

50 Cent has been attempting to serve Rick Ross with a subpoena in the claim against Reed Smith for the better part of a year, with no luck “as Ross refuses to appear for his deposition,” 50 Cent’s lawyer Imran H. Ansari, Esq said.

Last week, Reed Smith’s legal team claimed 50 Cent was stalling for time since they are ready the legal showdown with the rapper.

But 50 Cent’s legal team is denying the accusations, and putting the blame squarely on Rick Ross.

Fif’s lawyers maintain they have tried to serve Rick Ross five different times around the country, with no success.

A process server in Boston managed to confront Rick Ross as he was coming out of a hotel in November, but the rap star refused to take the subpoena and frightened the living daylights out of the guy.

“Ross twice personally refused to take it. After Ross’ second personal refusal… Ross’ personal security approached the process server in a manner the service processer interpreted as intimidating, at which point the service processer exited the hotel,” 50 Cent’s lawyer Imran H. Ansari, Esq said.

50 maintains his handlers managed to serve a copy of the subpoena to Rick Ross’s security guard at his estate in Fayetteville, Georgia in September of 2019

50 Cent’s attorney is urging the judge to rule that Rick Ross has been served because the guard said he was authorized to accept the lawsuit.

50 Cent’s lawyer also believes Rick Ross has been properly served “whether or not he has decided to accept a physical copy” of the subpoena into his hands.

50 Cent wants the judge to order Rick Ross into court to give his deposition on January 17, 2020.

Bill Cosby Calls Eddie Murphy A “Coon” Over SNL Snub

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) A spokesperson for disgraced actor Bill Cosby hit out at Eddie Murphy after he targeted the star during his triumphant return to Saturday Night Live over the weekend.

During his monologue, Murphy aimed Cosby, poking fun at “The Cosby Show” star, who is currently in prison for sexual assault, over his criticism of the comedian’s 1987 special “Eddie Murphy Raw.”

“If you had told me 30 years ago that I would be this boring, stay-at-home house dad, and Bill Cosby would be in jail, even I would have took that bet,” the father of 10 said. “Who is America’s dad now?”

Cosby long ago claimed the title “America’s Dad” and attracted widespread criticism with a bizarre Father’s Day tweet in June in which he once again invoked it, writing: “Hey, Hey, Hey…It’s America’s Dad…”

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6ZWerAnhDR

Andrew Wyatt, Cosby’s PR representative, said in a statement on Sunday: “It is sad that Mr. Murphy would take this glorious moment of returning to SNL and make disparaging remarks against Mr. Cosby.

“One would think that Mr. Murphy was given his freedom to leave the plantation, so that he could make his own decisions; but he decided to sell himself back to being a Hollywood Slave,” he continued. ‘

“Remember, Mr. Murphy, that Bill Cosby became legendary because he used comedy to humanize all races, religions and genders; but your attacking Mr. Cosby helps you embark on just becoming clickbait.”

He added: “Hopefully, you will be amenable to having a meeting of the minds conversation, in order to discuss how we can use our collective platforms to enhance Black people rather than bringing all of us down together.”

Despite the criticism, Murphy’s return to the popular comedy sketch show for the first time in 35 years, alongside famous pals Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, and Tracy Morgan, and musical guest Lizzo, scored the long-running series’ its highest ratings in two years.

EXCLUSIVE: Tekashi 6ix9ine Ordered To Forfeit Cash From Drug Deal

By: Nolan StrongCategory: Exclusives

(AllHipHop News) The Feds are after a paltry amount of cash Tekashi 6ix9ine earned while he was running wild with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

In addition to slapping the rap star with a $35,000 fine, the Feds are going after $2,000 6ix9ine made brokering a drug deal in Brooklyn back in the summer of 2018.

Just like the gang’s imprisoned Godfather Mel Murda, Tekashi 6ix9ine will also have to send his money to Treasury Assets Forfeiture Fund.

If he doesn’t pay the money, the Feds could start seizing his assets and property, although its doubtful Tekashi 6ix9ine would have a problem paying off his fines since he reportedly signed a record deal worth an estimated $10 million.

During his sentencing on December 18th, Tekashi 6ix9ne, born Daniel Hernandez, offered to pay the medical bills for several people whom he victimized as a member of the Nine Trey.

Tekashi 6ix9ine was sent to prison for two years after he decided to cooperate with the Feds in a RICO conspiracy against the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Tekashi 6ix9ine’s testimony helped secure plea deals and convictions for all 12 of the defendants charged in the case. 

Tekashi 69 Will Be A Permanent Snitch! Does DaBaby Have A Sex Tape? Meek’s Baby?

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Tekashi 69 will be home some time next year and, oh boy. will the world be a bit crazier than it is now. Well, guess what? There is more to this whole thing – just when you think you have heard it all. It seems like all that singing to the Feds has gotten Tekashi a permanent job snitching on people. TMZ reports: “In addition, 6ix9ine must continue to cooperate with the U.S. Attorney’s Office once he’s released from prison in any ongoing investigations where he might be useful.” That basically means he is stuck helping the cops/feds and others as they see fit. 

I could be stupid, but I think this casts a different view on his re-entry back into the game. Right? It is one thing to be a former snitch, but to continue to be a snitch at the beck-n-call of the feds!? WHEW!

Da Baby: It wasn’t me…

DaBaby has a sex tape or does he? I am glad he didn’t get up on this when it first broke. Too many rappers in compromising positions. Who wants to see ASAP Rocky naked or having sex. Well, apparently a lot of people, but not me. And that goes even more for DaBaby! Nobody wants to see all that! And DaBaby has made it clear that ya’ll didn’t see him either. 

I didn’t even understand what DaBaby was saying, but I gathered the facts from the people responding in the comments. And other reports. LOL! But the comments were comedy and really showed how thirsty women are! It ain’t just men! 

Is Meek Expecting A Baby With His Girlfriend?

Milano, Meek Mill’s girlfriend, is rumored to be with child and that would mean that it is quite possible that Meek will be a father again. They have been dating and all has been well. When they robbed her store, Meek came to the rescue and called out the robbers. She made the announcement publically so I am sure Meek knew she was gonna do it. 

Kanye West Debuts “Mary” Opera In New York With Major Tweaks

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West premiered a revised version of his latest opera “Mary” in New York on Sunday (December 22nd).

The rapper’s most recent production took place earlier this month at the Miami Marine Stadium and was accessible only via motorboat, and the star later revealed plans to take the production to the Lincoln Center for a second staging.

Along the way, the “Gold Digger” star made several changes, introducing an elaborate new set with tall rows of what looked like wheat on either side of the stage concealing the orchestra, and in the center of the stage underneath the choir, which was on a riser at the back.

Kanye once again appeared in the performance, sitting on a chair in front of a music stand downstage right as narrator, while the silver outfits from the Miami show were replaced with skin-colored T-shirts and sweatpants reminiscent of his Yeezy line.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YEKdcC9XUA

Songs in the production, which included new arrangements of older Kanye songs and Christmas classics, were also placed in a different order than in the first production, and each audience member was given a program complete with each biblical reading, as well as each of the songs being performed, so they could follow along throughout the show.

While the show once again began over an hour late, the acoustics were significantly improved and there were far less technical blunders this time round.

TV personality Gayle King, comedian Michelle Wolf, and fashion designer Dapper Dan were all in attendance to support Kanye, along with his wife Kim Kardashian and daughter North West, who was reportedly a hit with the audience as the six-year-old made her way to her seat.

(AllHipHop News) REFORM Alliance co-founders Michael Rubin, Meek Mill, Clara Wu Tsai, and Robert Kraft, as well as Hip Hop star DJ Khaled and Brooklyn Nets player Caris LeVert, hosted a VIP experience for over 50 children.

Philadelphia 76ers partner Rubin, Mill, Wu Tsai, Khaled, and LeVert started the day by taking the young people from Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Harlem, and New Jersey on a shopping spree at the NBA Store in Manhattan. Meek also traveled to Philly to host his own holiday toy giveaway for 3,500 kids and families at the Martin Luther King Recreation Center.

In addition, Rubin and New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft flew the children and their guardians to Foxborough, Massachusetts on the Patriots’ charter plane to watch the team play the Buffalo Bills for the AFC East division title on Saturday. After arriving at Gillette Stadium, the kids were able to meet Kraft and quarterback Tom Brady on the field before the game and watch warm-ups from the sideline.

The REFORM Alliance is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing criminal justice reform and changing laws and policies that perpetuate injustice. Rubin and Mill introduced plans for a bipartisan bill proposal to address issues with technical probation violations and penalties that people in Pennsylvania receive while under probation. The Pennsylvania State Legislature is expected to vote on their bill soon.

Is Stevie J Talking About Faith Evans In His Twitter Rant?

By: Simone GrantCategory: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) Stevie J had some sh*t to get off his chest on Saturday night so he decided to vent to Twitter.

The Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta star is known for his creeping ways on the reality show and being part of the infamous “creep squad,” his beef with his two baby’s mothers, and his transition to hubby to r&b singer Faith Evans.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzlI4lTJxgU

The internet did give Stevie and Faith a little side eye when they announced their marriage. I guess we never thought Stevie would settle down anytime soon.

Well not sure if the two love birds who were very open about how in love they were are doing too good right about now. At least that’s what his tweets are alluding to. 

You know someone is mad when they run to social media to post some subs. At first, I thought he was talking about the Puerto Rican princess aka Joseline Hernandez and child support when he posted about sending $5k a day. 

A few hours later, Stevie was back on Twitter claiming someone hacked his accounts.

O.T. Genasis Adds His “Never Knew” Music Video To Pornhub

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Last week, O.T. Genasis threatened to add his “Never Knew” video to Pornhub after the clip was pulled from YouTube. The Long Beach rapper apparently did post the vid on the pornographic site.

“Took my video off YouTube…Now let me see you take it off PORNHUB LOL,” wrote O.T. Genasis on his Instagram page.

There has been speculation that Keyshia Cole may have had “Never Knew” taken down from YouTube because the song is a remake of her single “Love.” The R&B singer recently expressed that she wanted her “classic” to be left alone.

“Damn Keyshia it’s like dat? I thought u was from da Bay? I thought it was California love A n*gga can’t have fun no more lol,” wrote Genasis on a previous IG post.
